Woering, A.A. Pohl, M. Verlaat, B. Boer Rookhuizen, H. Perrin, E. Battiston, R. Institution National Aerospace Laboratory NLR Date 2001-09-17 Abstract The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer AMS-2, planned for a five years mission as attached payload on the International Space Station ISS, is an international experiment searching for anti-matter, dark matter, and missing matter. AMS-2, an improved version of AMS-1 flown on STS 91, consists of various particle detector systems, one of these being the (Silicon) Tracker. The tradeoff based choice and the experimental feasibility demonstration of a mechanically pumped twophase CO2 cooling loop for the Tracker is discussed in detail. Ongoing and planned development activities are indicated.
