Podcast appearances and mentions of Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer

Revisiting GeV-scale annihilating dark matter with the AMS-02 positron fraction by Iason Krommydas et al. on Tuesday 11 October Antimatter cosmic-rays are used to probe new phenomena in physics, including dark matter annihilation. We use the cosmic-ray positron fraction spectrum by the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer, to search for such an annihilation signal in the Galaxy. We focus on dark matter with mass between 5 and 120 GeV, producing high-energy electrons and positrons. In these cosmic-ray energies the interplay of multiple astrophysical sources and phenomena, makes this search highly sensitive to the underlying astrophysical background assumptions. We use a vast public library of astrophysical models for the cosmic-ray positron fraction background, to derive robust upper limits on the dark matter's annihilation cross section for a number of annihilation channels. This library accounts for different types of cosmic-ray sources and uncertainties on their distribution in space and time. Also, it accounts for uncertainties on those sources' output, their injected into the interstellar medium cosmic-ray spectra and for uncertainties on cosmic-ray propagation. For any given dark matter particle mass and annihilation channel, upper limits on the annihilation cross section are given by bands that stretch a full order of magnitude in its value. Our work provides weaker limits compared to earlier results, that are however robust to all the relevant astrophysical uncertainties. Between 5 and 15 GeV, we find indications for a possible excess flux of cosmic-ray electrons and positrons. That excess is found for most, but not all of our astrophysical background parameter space, and its significance can vary appreciably. Further scrutiny is necessary to improve the understanding of these lower energy cosmic rays. Finally, we note that even if an excess signal is found in these energies, the current background uncertainties do not allow us to accurately deduce its underlying particle properties. arXiv: http://arxiv.org/abs/http://arxiv.org/abs/2210.04903v1

Dr. Andrew Feustel is a NASA Astronaut and Mission Specialist whose passion early in life to wrench on cars came full circle when he flew in to space on board the Space Shuttle Atlantis. He spent 13 days in space improving the Hubble Space Telescope’s observatory’s capabilities, removing frozen bolts, stripped screws, and stuck handrails. Then he flew on Space Shuttle Endeavour’s final mission to the International Space Station. Andrew served as the lead space walker on that trip delivering the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer, a cosmic ray particle physics detector that examines fundamental issues about matter and the origin and structure of the universe. And a few stats for you; Drew is the 473 person to go in to space and he’s the 473 guest here on Cars Yeah!

Schwerpunkt: Iris Gebauer vom Karlsruher Institut für Technologie über den AMS-02-Detektor an Bord der Internationalen Raumstation, mit dem Wissenschaftler seit einigen Jahren die Eigenschaften der kosmischen Strahlung untersuchen || Nachrichten: Hinweise auf Selbstwechselwirkung Dunkler Materie beobachtet | Druckbild von Laserdruckern unter die Lupe genommen | Kometenkern von 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko erstaunlich unmagnetisch || Veranstaltungen: Hamburg | Bremen | Tübingen

Data from the International Space Station-based Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer experiment supports the idea that dark matter consists of the invisible particles called weakly interacting massive particles, or WIMPs. Clara Moskowitz reports  

Dark matter makes up more than 80 percent of the matter in the universe. But up until now, it's eluded scientists. Yesterday, however, NASA announced a possible breakthrough. A particle detector mounted on the International Space Station may have detected dark matter. The detector is called the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer and it measures cosmic ray particles in space. These measurements appear to have uncovered dark matter. Michio Kaku is a theoretical physicist and author of the New York Times bestseller “Physics of the Future.” “Every high school text book says the universe is made out of atoms,” says Kaku. “Every textbook could have to be re-written because we now realize that most of the matter in the universe is made out of dark matter, invisible matter. This illusive matter that holds the galaxy together.” Kaku notes that this substance is crucial to our existence: “If it wasn't for dark matter, by the way, we wouldn't be here. The earth would have been flung into deep space. The galaxy would have flown apart." This is because the Milky Way spins 10 times faster than one would expect. Kaku explains that this must mean that there is an invisible halo of dark matter surrounding the galaxy holding it together. "With the Hubble Space Telescope we now have maps of dark matter…by looking at the bending of starlight around the galaxies." “If it holds up, for the first time in human history, we have detected a new form of matter other than atoms,” says Kaku. “It could be worth a Nobel Prize, in fact a second Nobel Prize for Dr. Sam King.”

We're on the hunt for dark matter, anti-matter, and why it matters

We look at anti-matter what it is, how they capture it, detect it and take a look at the CERN Large Hadron Collider where some of this research is going on. Plus we take a brief look at the AMS-02, Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer, that was recently launched on the Shuttle, looking for cosmic rays. All that and more, on SciByte!
