二次产生是Cosmic Ray正电子过剩的起源

Secondary Production as the Origin for the Cosmic Ray Positron Excess

M. Kruskal, S. P. Ahlen, G. Tarlé

摘要:

阿尔法磁谱仪已经发布了宇宙射线的高精度数据,并证实了相对于星际介质中宇宙射线相互作用的预期,正电子过量。一个令人兴奋的和众所周知的可能性过剩是生产的电子-正电子对的湮灭暗物质粒子在晕的银河系。基于2000年SMILI实验结果和其他天体物理观测结果,我们构建了一个新的宇宙射线传播的设想,其中正电子过剩是由于次级产生。从一个简单的启发式的角度来看,该方案进行了研究,并在使用GALPROP的扩散再加速模型的约束。每种方法的结论彼此一致,表明该方案与观测到的正电子通量一致,而不需要任何暗物质或其他外来的生产机制。

英文摘要:

The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer has released high-precision data for cosmic rays, and has verified an excess of positrons relative to expectations from cosmic ray interactions in the interstellar medium. An exciting and well-known possibility for the excess is production of electron-positron pairs by annihilating dark matter particles in the halo of the Galaxy. We have constructed a new scenario for propagation of cosmic rays, based on the 2000 SMILI results and various other astrophysics observations and measurements, in which the positron excess is due to secondary production. The scenario is studied from a simple heuristic perspective, and also within the constraints of a diffusion-reacceleration model using GALPROP. The conclusions of each approach agree with one another, showing that the scenario agrees well with the observed positron flux, without any need for dark matter or other exotic production mechanisms.
