Abstract

The measurement of light isotope components in cosmic rays (CR) like3He,2H (D)and6Li are some of the most valuable tools for understanding the propagation of CR in the galaxy and constrain the models that describe it. In this work a new preliminary measurement of3He/4He,6Li/7Li and D/p flux ratios are presented, each obtained from the data of the AMS-02 experiment, along with the measurement of the isotopic component fluxes.
