Possible dark matter annihilation signal in the AMS-02 antiproton data

MY Cui, Q Yuan, YLS Tsai, YZ Fan - Physical Review Letters, 2017 - APS
Using the latest AMS-02 cosmic-ray antiproton flux data, we search for a potential dark
matter annihilation signal. The background parameters about the propagation, source …

Multimessenger constraints on the dark matter interpretation of the -LAT Galactic Center excess

M Di Mauro, MW Winkler - Physical Review D, 2021 - APS
An excess of γ rays in the data measured by the Fermi Large Area Telescope in the direction
of the Galactic Center has been reported in several publications. This excess, labeled as the …

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 …

Updated constraints on primordial black hole evaporation

M Korwar, S Profumo - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle …, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
The Hawking evaporation process, leading to the production of detectable particle species,
constrains the abundance of light black holes, presumably of primordial origin. Here, we …

AMS-02 antiprotons and dark matter: Trimmed hints and robust bounds

F Calore, M Cirelli, L Derome, Y Genolini, D Maurin… - SciPost Physics, 2022 - scipost.org
Based on 4 yr AMS-02 antiproton data, we present bounds on the dark matter (DM)
annihilation cross section vs. mass for some representative final state channels. We use …

Origin of the cosmic-ray spectral hardening

N Tomassetti - The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2012 - iopscience.iop.org
Recent data from ATIC, CREAM, and PAMELA indicate that the cosmic-ray energy spectra of
protons and nuclei exhibit a remarkable hardening at energies above 100 GeV nucleon− 1 …

AMS-02 antiprotons' consistency with a secondary astrophysical origin

M Boudaud, Y Génolini, L Derome, J Lavalle… - Physical Review …, 2020 - APS
The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS-02) experiment has ushered cosmic-ray physics
into precision era. In an earlier paper [Génolini, Phys. Rev. D 99, 123028 (2019) …
