Abstract
AMS-02 is a cosmic ray experiment that will be placed on the International Space Station. One of its goals is to search for WIMP Dark Matter, specifically from anomalous features in the positron spectrum. In order to identify positrons at high energy from the large background of protons, a Transition Radiation Detector (TRD) will be used. Here we will present studies of positron/proton separation using the TRD from the AMS-02 Simulation.
