Abstract

A measurement of the dipole anisotropy in galactic coordinates for different charged cosmic rays has been performed with the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS) onboard the International Space Station (ISS). Results are presented for the first 7.5 years of data taking for protons, Helium, Carbon and Oxygen, and 6.5 years for positrons and electrons. All the species are found to be consistent with isotropy and upper limits to the dipole amplitude have been computed. In particular, for energies above 16 GeV a limit of δ < 1.9% and δ < 0.5% at the 95% C.I. is found for positrons and electrons respectively. For rigidities above 200 GV a limit of δ < 0.38%, δ < 0.36%, δ < 1.9% and δ < 1.7% is obtained for protons, Helium, Carbon and Oxygen.
