摘要
The detection potential of AMS for photon sources of different origin is assessed. In particular, galactic and extragalactic point sources detected by previous experiments are examined for their detectability at energies above a few GeV. In addition, gamma ray rates from a potential supersymmetric dark matter halo are estimated using different models. It is argued that the constant survey of the gamma ray sky by AMS with a high angular resolution will be an important complement to similar studies using other present and future instruments.
