Abstract
The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS-02) is a large-acceptance (0.45 m2sr) magnetic spectrometer operating on board the International Space Station since May 2011. One of the main scientific objectives of the mission is the measurement of the nuclei fluxes in cosmic rays (CR). The identification of nuclei is achieved by the combination of independent measurements of the absolute charge, provided by different sub-detectors: the Silicon Tracker, the Time-of-Flight system (TOF), the Ring Imaging Cherenkov Counter (RICH), the Transition Radiation Detector (TRD) and the Electromagnetic Calorimeter (ECAL). In this contribution the results of nuclei fluxes already shown by the AMS collaboration are presented.
