The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS) is constantly exposed to harsh condition on the ISS. As such, there is a need to constantly monitor and perform adjustments to ensure the AMS operates safely and efficiently. With the addition of the Upgraded Tracker Thermal Pump System, the legacy monitoring interface was no longer suitable for use. This paper describes the new AMS Monitoring Interface (AMI). The AMI is built with state-of-the-art time series database and analytics software. It uses a custom feeder program to process AMS Raw Data as time series data points, feeds them into InfluxDB databases, and uses Grafana as a visualization tool. It follows modern design principles, allowing client CPUs to handle the processing work, distributed creation of AMI dashboards, and up-to-date security protocols. In addition, it offers a more simple way of modifying the AMI and allows the use of APIs to automate backup and synchronization. The new AMI has been in use since January 2020 and was a crucial component in remote shift taking during the COVID-19 pandemic.

A Deep Learning Approach to Proton Background Rejection for Positron Analysis with the AMS Electromagnetic Calorimeter Hashmani, Raheem Karim; Akbaş, Emre; Demirköz, Melahat Bilge; Department of Computer Engineering (2023-1-26) The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS) is a high-precision particle detector onboard the International Space Station containing six different subdetectors. The Transition Radiation Detector and Electromagnetic Calorimeter (ECAL) are used to separate electrons/positrons from the abundant cosmic-ray proton background. The positron flux measured in space by AMS falls with a power law which unexpectedly softens above 25 GeV and then hardens above 280 GeV. Several theoretical models try to explain these phenomen...
New magnetic measurement system for determining metal covered mines by detecting magnetic anomaly using a sensor network EGE, Yavuz; KAKİLLİ, ADNAN; Citak, Hakan; Kalender, Osman; NAZLIBİLEK, SEDAT; Sensoy, Mehmet Gokhan (2015-03-01) The most commonly used remote sensing methods are used in such applications as the aquistic emmission, ground penetration radar (GPR) detection, electromagnetic induction spectroscopy, infrared imaging, thermal neutron activation, nuclear quadruple resonance, X-ray back scattering, neutron back scattering and magnetic anomaly detection. In deciding which type of method has to be used for detection, the variables such as the type of object, material used, position, geographical and environmental conditions, ...
An Experimental study on boundary layer separation control over s809 airfoil using synthetic jet actuators Gül, Melika; Akmandor, İbrahim Sinan; Uzol, Oğuz; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2013) This thesis presents the results of an experimental study that investigates the effect of periodic excitation from individually controlled synthetic jet actuators on the separated shear layer and wake of a model wing that has S809 airfoil profile. The synthetic jet array consists of three individually controlled synthetic jet actuators driven by piezoelectric diaphragms located at 28% chord location near the middle of the span of the blade. In the first part of the study, hot wire and surface pressure measu...
THE TRANSITION RADIATION DETECTOR OF THE AMS-2 EXPERIMENT Demirköz, Melahat Bilge (2002-11-01) The AMS magnetic spectrometer will be installed on the International Space Station ISS to measure the properties of cosmic rays in the range of 1 to 1000 GeV during a mission of three years. A Transition Radiation Detector is used in combination with an electromagnetic calorimeter to reach a rejection of 10(-6) protons against positrons up to an energy of 300 GeV. This allows to search for cosmic cold dark matter through their decay products.
A study of cosmic ray secondaries induced by the Mir space station using AMS-01 Aguilar, M; et. al. (Elsevier BV, 2005-06-01) The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS-02) is a high energy particle physics experiment that will study cosmic rays in the similar to 100 MeV to 1 TeV range and will be installed on the International Space Station (ISS) for at least 3 years. A first version of AMS-02, AMS-01, flew aboard the space shuttle Discovery from June 2 to June 12, 1998, and collected 108 cosmic ray triggers. Part of the Mir space station was within the AMS-01 field of view during the four day Mir docking phase of this flight. We have ...
