摘要:

基于ISS的CALET(CALorimetric Electron Telescope)探测器可以在间接寻找暗物质(DM)中发挥重要作用,首次直接测量TeV区域的电子+正电子通量。它具有近似$2\%$的能量分辨率和良好的质子排斥比($1:10^5$),具有在宇宙线(CR)电子谱中寻找精细结构的潜力。在这种情况下,我们讨论的能力CALET辨别来自天体物理源和DM衰变或湮灭之间的信号。我们适合的参数化的本地星际电子和正电子光谱到目前的测量,无论是脉冲星或3体衰变的费米子DM作为额外的源,导致正电子过剩。预计CALET数据的情况下,DM衰变解释过量的计算和分析。从这个特定的三体DM衰变,可以解释最近的测量从AMS $-02$实验的信号被证明是区别于一个单一的脉冲星源,导致正电子过剩的5年的观测与CALET,根据光谱的形状。我们还研究了银河系外弥漫$γ$ -射线数据的限制,这DM唯一的解释的正电子过剩,并表明,特别是对于可能剩余的参数空间中的CR电子光谱存在一个明确的可识别的签名。

英文摘要:

The ISS-based CALET (CALorimetric Electron Telescope) detector can play an important role in indirect search for Dark Matter (DM), measuring the electron+positron flux in the TeV region for the first time directly. With its fine energy resolution of approximately $2\%$ and good proton rejection ratio ($1:10^5$) it has the potential to search for fine structures in the Cosmic Ray (CR) electron spectrum. In this context we discuss the ability of CALET to discern between signals originating from astrophysical sources and DM decay or annihilation. We fit a parametrization of the local interstellar electron and positron spectra to current measurements, with either a pulsar or 3-body decay of fermionic DM as the extra source causing the positron excess. The expected CALET data for scenarios in which DM decay explains the excess are calculated and analyzed. The signal from this particular 3-body DM decay which can explain the recent measurements of from the AMS$-02$ experiment is shown to be distinguishable from a single pulsar source causing the positron excess by 5 years of observation with CALET, based on the shape of the spectrum. We also study the constraints from extra-galactic diffuse $γ$-ray data on this DM-only explanation of the positron excess and show that especially for the possibly remaining parameter space a clearly identifiable signature in the CR electron spectrum exists.
