New minimal, median, and maximal propagation models for dark matter searches with Galactic cosmic rays
Yoann Génolini, Mathieu Boudaud, Marco Cirelli +5
Galactic charged cosmic rays (notably electrons, positrons, antiprotons and light antinuclei) are powerful probes of dark matter annihilation or decay, in particular for candidates…
Revisiting primordial black holes capture into neutron stars
Yoann Génolini, Pasquale Serpico, Peter Tinyakov
Primordial black holes (PBH), produced through a variety of processes in the early universe, could fill galactic halos accounting for a fraction or the totality of the dark matter.…
Combined analysis of AMS-02 (Li,Be,B)/C, N/O, 3He, and 4He data
Nathanael Weinrich, Yoann Génolini, Mathieu Boudaud +2
The AMS-02 experiment measured several secondary-to-primary ratios enabling a detailed study of Galactic cosmic-ray transport. We constrain previously derived benchmark scenarios (…
AMS-02 antiprotons' consistency with a secondary astrophysical origin
Mathieu Boudaud, Yoann Génolini, Laurent Derome +4
The AMS-02 experiment has ushered cosmic-ray physics into precision era. In a companion paper, we designed an improved method to calibrate propagation models on B/C data. Here we p…
Fitting B/C cosmic-ray data in the AMS-02 era: A cookbook
L. Derome, D. Maurin, P. Salati +3
AMS-02 on the International Space Station has been releasing data of unprecedented accuracy. This poses new challenges for their interpretation. We refine the methodology to get a…
