Precision measurements of the positron component in the cosmic radiation provide important information about the propagation of cosmic rays and the nature of particle sources in our Galaxy. The satellite-borne experiment PAMELA has been used to make a new measurement of the cosmic-ray positron flux and fraction that extends previously published measurements up to 300 GeV in kinetic energy. The combined measurements of the cosmic-ray positron energy spectrum and fraction provide a unique tool to constrain interpretation models. During the recent solar minimum activity period from July 2006 to December 2009 approximately 24500 positrons were observed. The results cannot be easily reconciled with purely secondary production and additional sources of either astrophysical or exotic origin may be required.

  1. Probing Solar Heavy Neutrinos with Heliospheric Electrons

    astro-ph.HE 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Using Ulysses and SOHO MeV electron data, the authors set the strongest direct upper bound U_e^2 ~ 10^-6 on solar-produced heavy neutral leptons, reaching that value at a mass near 10 MeV.

  2. Gauged $U(1)_{L_\mu-L_\tau}$ Scotogenic Model in light of $R_{K^{(*)}}$ Anomaly and AMS-02 Positron Excess

    hep-ph 2019-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A gauged U(1)_{L_mu-L_tau} scotogenic model can simultaneously accommodate the R_K(*) anomaly and the AMS-02 positron excess, at the cost of tuned benchmark parameters and marginal agreement with CMB and gamma-ray con...

  3. Evidences of low-diffusion bubbles around Galactic pulsars

    astro-ph.HE 2019-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A sample of 27 Galactic pulsar wind nebulae shows a diffusion coefficient about two orders of magnitude below the Galactic average, implying large low-diffusion bubbles around these pulsars.

  4. A congruous approach with realistic cross section towards limiting sub-GeV dark matter from LUX-ZEPLIN

    hep-ph 2025-09 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Using LZ nuclear recoil data, the authors derive 90% CL exclusion limits on cosmic-ray-boosted sub-GeV dark matter for two U(1)' mediator models, with energy-dependent cross sections improving the lower reach versus c...

  5. New Venues in Formation and Detection for Primordial Black Hole Dark Matter

    astro-ph.CO 2019-08 conditional novelty 2.0 of 10

    Primordial black holes from scalar-field fragmentation could populate the sub-lunar mass window and be detected through their destruction of compact stars.
