摘要:

银河系带电的宇宙射线(特别是电子、正电子、反质子和轻反核)是暗物质湮灭或衰变的有力探测器,特别是对于比几兆电子伏重的候选者或微小的蒸发的原始黑洞。PAMELA、AMS-02或VOYAGER最近对正电子和反质子的测量已经转化为对大质量范围内几个模型的约束。然而,这些限制取决于银河系的运输模型,特别是扩散晕的大小,受到理论和统计的不确定性。我们更新了所谓的MIN-MED-MAX基准传输参数,产生通用的最小,中位数和最大的暗物质引起的通量,这减少了通量的不确定性约2倍的正电子和6反质子,相对于他们以前的版本。我们还提供了方便的拟合公式相关联的预测次级反质子和正电子背景通量。最后,对于更精细的分析,我们提供了模型参数和协方差矩阵的不确定性的全部细节。

英文摘要:

Galactic charged cosmic rays (notably electrons, positrons, antiprotons and light antinuclei) are powerful probes of dark matter annihilation or decay, in particular for candidates heavier than a few MeV or tiny evaporating primordial black holes. Recent measurements by PAMELA, AMS-02, or VOYAGER on positrons and antiprotons already translate into constraints on several models over a large mass range. However, these constraints depend on Galactic transport models, in particular the diffusive halo size, subject to theoretical and statistical uncertainties. We update the so-called MIN-MED-MAX benchmark transport parameters that yield generic minimal, median and maximal dark-matter induced fluxes; this reduces the uncertainties on fluxes by a factor of about 2 for positrons and 6 for antiprotons, with respect to their former version. We also provide handy fitting formulae for the associated predicted secondary antiproton and positron background fluxes. Finally, for more refined analyses, we provide the full details of the model parameters and covariance matrices of uncertainties.
