Detection of Gamma Rays From a Starburst Galaxy
The HESS Collaboration, F. Acero
Starburst galaxies exhibit in their central regions a highly increased rate of supernovae, the remnants of which are thought to accelerate energetic cosmic rays up to energies of ~…
Observation of an anomalous positron abundance in the cosmic radiation
O. Adriani, G. C. Barbarino, G. A. Bazilevskaya +48
Positrons are known to be produced in interactions between cosmic-ray nuclei and interstellar matter ("secondary production"). Positrons may, however, also be created by dark matte…
A new measurement of the antiproton-to-proton flux ratio up to 100 GeV in the cosmic radiation
O. Adriani, G. C. Barbarino, G. A. Bazilevskaya +50
A new measurement of the cosmic ray antiproton-to-proton flux ratio between 1 and 100 GeV is presented. The results were obtained with the PAMELA experiment, which was launched int…
