Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer-2 Installed

I am reading this article Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer-2 Installed at NASA's website.
According to this article the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer-2 was removed from Endeavour's payload bay via the Space Shuttle's robotic arm.
The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer-2 was then installed on the International Space Station's truss.
Data gathered from the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer-2 will be studied for information on dark matter, antimatter, other unusual matter, pulsars, gamma ray bursts, and other cosmic phenomena.
