Abstract

AMS-02 is running since four years: a powerful apparatus for dark matter searches has been set up, in order to study the important antiparticle-to-particle ratios and cosmic leptons and nuclei spectra, up to the TeV scale. Official papers dedicated to hadronic physics are incoming. The unprecedented precision of AMS-02 data permits to greatly reduce the astrophysical uncertainties which affect cosmic rays (CR) propagation, allowing to study CR anomalies and highlight new phenomena, to corroborate or falsify present dark matter (DM) theories and to explore the TeV-ish dark matter scenario opportunities.
