Antiprotons from spallations of cosmic rays on interstellar matter
Cosmic ray antiprotons provide an important probe for the study of the galactic Dark Matter, as they could be produced by neutralino annihilations, primordial black holes evaporations or other exotic sources. On the other hand, antiprotons are anyway produced by standard nuclear reactions of cosmic ray nuclei on interstellar matter (spallations), that are known to occur in the Galaxy. This proc...
متن کاملHigh Energy Cosmic Rays from Decaying Supersymmetric Dark Matter
Motivated by the recent PAMELA and ATIC results, we calculate the electron and positron fluxes from the decay of lightest-superparticle (LSP) dark matter. We assume that the LSP is the dominant component of dark matter, and consider the case that the R-parity is very weakly violated so that the lifetime of the LSP becomes of the order of 1026 sec. We will see that, with such a choice of the lif...
متن کاملHalo Dark Matter and Ultra-High Energy Cosmic Rays
The decay of very heavy metastable relics of the Early Universe can produce ultrahigh energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) in the halo of our own Galaxy. On distance scales of the order of the halo size, energy losses are negligible—no Greisen-ZatsepinKuzmin cutoff is expected. In this letter we show that, as a consequence of the hierarchical build up of the halo, this scenario predicts the existence of...
متن کاملCosmic Rays from Leptophilic Dark Matter Decay via Kinetic Mixing
If interpreted in terms of decaying dark matter, the steep rise in the positron fraction of cosmic rays above 10GeV, as observed by the PAMELA experiment, suggests an underlying production mechanism that favors leptonic channels. We consider a scenario where a portion of the dark matter is made of the gauginos of an unbroken hidden-sector U(1)X , which interact with the visible sector only thro...
متن کاملDark Matter and Cosmic Rays from Light Gauginos
An attractive class of SUSY-breaking mechanisms predicts a photino mass of order 1 GeV. Relic photinos can naturally account for the observed dark matter. Detection of these light photinos is discussed and contrasted with conventional WIMPs. In this scenario the gluino mass is about 100 MeV. The lightest gluinocontaining baryon could account for the recently observed ultra-high energy cosmic ra...
