Solar Modulation of Galactic Cosmic Rays: Physics Challenges for AMS-02
Nicola Tomassetti
The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS) is a new generation high-energy physics experiment installed on the International Space Station in May 2011 and operating continuously since t…
Production of cosmic-ray antinuclei in the Galaxy and background for dark matter searches
Nicola Tomassetti, Alberto Oliva
Antimatter nuclei in cosmic rays (CR) represent a promising discovery channel for the indirect search of dark matter. We present astrophysical background calculations of CR antideu…
Fresh Insights on Cosmic-ray Propagation from the New AMS Data
Nicola Tomassetti, Jie Feng, Alberto Oliva
The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS) experiment has released new measurements of primary and secondary nuclei in cosmic rays at the TeV energy scale. Using these data, we present…
Secondary antinuclei from supernova remnants and background for dark matter searches
Nicola Tomassetti, Alberto Oliva
We compute the spectra of cosmic-ray (CR) nuclei and antinuclei under a scenario where hadronic interaction processes inside supernova remnants (SNRs) can produce a diffusively-sho…
Production of antimatter nuclei in Galactic cosmic rays
Alberto Oliva, Nicola Tomassetti, Jie Feng
Antimatter nuclei in cosmic rays (CRs) are a promising tool for the indirect detection of dark-matter annihilation signatures. However, the search of new-physics signals in CRs rel…
Solar and nuclear physics uncertainties in cosmic-ray propagation
Nicola Tomassetti
Recent data released by the AMS experiment on the primary spectra and secondary-to-primary ratios in cosmic rays (CRs) can pose tight constraints to astrophysical models of CR acce…
Evidence for a Time Lag in Solar Modulation of Galactic Cosmic Rays
Nicola Tomassetti, Miguel Orcinha, Fernando Barao +1
The solar modulation effect of cosmic rays in the heliosphere is an energy-, time-, and particle-dependent phenomenon which arises from a combination of basic particle transport pr…
Production and acceleration of antinuclei in supernova shockwaves
Nicola Tomassetti, Alberto Oliva
We compute the energy spectra of antideuterons and antihelium in cosmic rays (CRs) in a scenario where hadronic interactions inside supernova remnants (SNRs) can produce a diffusiv…
Precision measurement of the (e + e) flux in primary cosmic rays from 0.5 GeV to 1 TeV with the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer on the International Space Station
Manuela Vecchi
We present a precise measurement of the combined electron plus positron flux from 0.5 GeV to 1 TeV, based on the analysis of the data collected by the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer d…
