Descripción
The measurements of cosmic rays electrons (e±) have
begun a new era a few years ago with high precision experiments like
PAMELA and Fermi-LAT. Both experiments show an excess above 10 GeV.
Studying Fermi-LAT data, the total electron flux seems to be steeper
than expected. While these new measurements have not closed the debate,
results from AMS-02 are expected to reach the accuracy needed to
determine a full description of these excesses, and hopefully give some
evidence on the possible source. We will present in this paper, the
AMS-02 capacity in the case of positrons produced by pulsars.
