Indirect Searches for Dark Matter with AMS-02

AMS-02 is a multi-purpose spectrometer with superconducting magnet, designed for 3 years of data taking aboard the International Space Station. Its high performance regarding particle identification and energy measurement will allow performing indirect searches for dark matter (DM) in different channel simultaneously: gamma rays, positrons, antiprotons and hopefully antideuterons. A new spectrum generator, based on the public package micrOMEGAs, is used to determine the AMS-02 sensitivity to new physics. This note shows the example of the positron signal.
