摘要:

PAMELA卫星实验测量了1.5 GeV和100 GeV之间的宇宙射线正电子分数。需要可靠的正电子信号和质子背景之间的区别,需要一个特设的分析程序的发展。本文描述了一种正电子鉴别方法,并证明了它的稳定性和产生正确本底估计的能力。分析包括新的实验数据,应用三种不同的拟合技术的背景样品和系统的不确定性,由于可能的不准确性,在背景选择的估计。新的实验结果证实了太阳对低刚性宇宙射线的调制效应和10 GeV以上的异常正电子丰度。

英文摘要:

The PAMELA satellite experiment has measured the cosmic-ray positron fraction between 1.5 GeV and 100 GeV. The need to reliably discriminate between the positron signal and proton background has required the development of an ad hoc analysis procedure. In this paper, a method for positron identification is described and its stability and capability to yield a correct background estimate is shown. The analysis includes new experimental data, the application of three different fitting techniques for the background sample and an estimate of systematic uncertainties due to possible inaccuracies in the background selection. The new experimental results confirm both solar modulation effects on cosmic-rays with low rigidities and an anomalous positron abundance above 10 GeV.
