The coherent magnetic field of the Milky Way
We present a suite of models of the coherent magnetic field of the Galaxy based on new
divergence-free parametric functions describing the global structure of the field. The model …

Dark matter or correlated errors: Systematics of the AMS-02 antiproton excess
J Heisig, M Korsmeier, MW Winkler - Physical Review Research, 2020 - APS
Several studies have pointed out an excess in the AMS-02 antiproton spectrum at rigidities
of 10–20 GV. Its spectral properties were found to be consistent with a dark-matter particle of …
