The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer AMS-02 has been installed in May 19, 2011 on the International Space Station, where it will detect cosmic rays for the next decades. AMS-02 with its accurate measurements up to the TeV scale will contribute to our knowledge of the Universe providing the most sensitive search for the existence of primordial anti matter and indirect search for dark matter. The Time Of Flight (TOF) detector of the AMS-02 experiment provides the trigger to the AMS detector, the time of flight and the absolute charge measurements. The flight operations and the performances of the TOF in Space will be presented.

Abstract
The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer AMS-02 has been installed in May 19, 2011 on the International Space Station, where it will detect cosmic rays for the next decades. AMS-02 with its accurate measurements up to the TeV scale will contribute to our knowledge of the Universe providing the most sensitive search for the existence of primordial anti matter and indirect search for dark matter. The Time Of Flight (TOF) detector of the AMS-02 experiment provides the trigger to the AMS detector, the time of flight and the absolute charge measurements. The flight operations and the performances of the TOF in Space will be presented.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
