Abstract: Secondary-to-primary cosmic ray flux ratios provide key information for studying the cosmic ray propagation. Based on the cosmic ray data collected by the AMS Collaboration during its first 11 years operation, we present high statistics measurements of the secondary cosmic rays Lithium, Beryllium, Boron and Fluorine. The unexpected rigidity dependence of the secondary cosmic ray fluxes and their ratios to the primary cosmic rays such as Li/C, Be/C, B/C, Li/O, Be/O, B/O and F/Si are discussed.
