Abstract (EN)

Cosmic rays still remain a mysterious phenomenon in the scientific world. Therefore, it is expected that important information can be obtained by examining cosmic rays, which are known to be composed of charged particles and have very high energies that cannot be obtained on Earth. One of the experiments conducted for this purpose is the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS02 Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer) experiment placed on the International Space Station (ISS). From 19 May 2011 to 19 May 2021, 178.204.061.232 cosmic events were recorded in this experiment to understand the origin of cosmic rays and to discover physical phenomena such as dark matter and anti-matter. Superstatistics is one of the powerful techniques for classifying and understanding complex systems. More recently, the superposition of multiple cosmic events in the energy distribution recorded by AMS-02 has been analyzed using the superstatistical techniques, and it has been seen that the superstatistical approach is a method that will help reveal the effects of cosmological resources. The purpose of this master's thesis is to introduce the superstatistical techniques developed for complex systems and to examine the results of the superstatical analysis of the helium flux recorded in the AMS-02 experiment deployed on the International Space Station and also to compare these analysis results with the results of the superstatistical analysis of the electron and positron fluxes recorded in the AMS-02 experiment too.
