چکیده
The origin of galactic cosmic rays is one of the most interesting unsolved problems in astroparticle physics. Experimentally, the problem is attacked by a multi-disciplinary effort, namely by direct measurements of cosmic rays above the atmosphere, by air shower observations, and by the detection of TeV γ rays. Recent experimental results are presented and their implications on the contemporary understanding of the origin of galactic cosmic rays are discussed.

The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS), whose final version AMS-02 is to be installed on the International Space Station (ISS) for at least 3 years, is a detector designed to measure charged cosmic ray spectra with energies up to the TeV region and with high energy photon detection capability up to a few hundred GeV, using state-of-the-art particle identification techniques. Following the succes...

The electron and positron cosmic rays observations have impulsed a hot debate regarding the origin of such particles. Their propagation in the galactic medium is modeled according to a successfully tested two–zone propagation model. The theoretical uncertainties related to their propagation and production are studied for three cases: secondary production, Dark Matter annihilation, and originati...

One way to understand the nonthermal history of the universe is by establishing the origins of the unresolved and truly diffuse extragalactic γ rays. Dim blazars and radio/γ galaxies certainly make an important contribution to the galactic γ-ray background given the EGRET discoveries, and previous treatments are reviewed and compared with a new analysis. Studies of the γ-ray intensity from cosm...

For the SUSY 2007 conference, I was asked to review the topic of indirect searches for dark matter. As part of that talk, I summarized several observations which have been interpreted as the product of dark matter annihilations. In my contribution to the proceedings, I have decided to focus on this aspect of my talk. In particular, I will discuss the cosmic positron spectrum measured by HEAT, t...
