摘要:

PAMELA和AMS测量到的正电子过剩只有在有一个或几个源注入它们的情况下才能解释。此外,在最高能量下,它需要附近($\sim$数百秒差距)和中年(最多$\sim$数百千年)源的存在。脉冲星作为电子和正电子的工厂,是解释这种过剩起源的候选者之一。为了计算这些源对地球上电子和正电子通量的贡献,我们开发了EDGE(电子扩散和伽马射线到地球),这是一个处理电子传播并计算其从具有灵活注入光谱的中心源扩散的代码。使用这个代码,我们可以导出源的伽马射线谱,空间延伸,空间中的全电子密度,到达地球的电子和正电子通量以及在地球上测量的正电子分数。在本文中,我们提出的基础上的代码和研究不同的参数如何影响伽马射线光谱的源和电子通量在地球上测量。我们还研究了在这些研究中通常进行的几个近似的效果。

英文摘要:

The positron excess measured by PAMELA and AMS can only be explained if there is one or several sources injecting them. Moreover, at the highest energies, it requires the presence of nearby ($\sim$hundreds of parsecs) and middle age (maximum of $\sim$hundreds of kyr) sources. Pulsars, as factories of electrons and positrons, are one of the proposed candidates to explain the origin of this excess. To calculate the contribution of these sources to the electron and positron flux at the Earth, we developed EDGE (Electron Diffusion and Gamma rays to the Earth), a code to treat the propagation of electrons and compute their diffusion from a central source with a flexible injection spectrum. Using this code, we can derive the source's gamma-ray spectrum, spatial extension, the all-electron density in space, the electron and positron flux reaching the Earth and the positron fraction measured at the Earth. We present in this paper the foundations of the code and study how different parameters affect the gamma-ray spectrum of a source and the electron flux measured at the Earth. We also studied the effect of several approximations usually performed in these studies.
