Description

During its 8.5 years of operations on board the International Space Station, AMS has detected several solar energetic particle (SEP) events produced during M- and X-class flares and fast coronal mass ejections. AMS is able to study these SEPs at high energies, below a few GeVs, with unprecedented accuracy. These unique features of the observed SEPs will be presented.
