Precise measurements of the electron and positron fluxes and of the total e<SUP>+</SUP>+e<SUP>_</SUP> flux are presented. These AMS results provide a deeper understanding of the nature of high energy cosmic rays and can shed more light on the nature of dark matter.10.1088/1742-6596/718/4/042046http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2016JPhCS.718d2046P2016JPhCS.718d2046P
