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…
