Positive charge prevalence in cosmic rays: Room for dark matter in the positron spectrum

M. A. Malkov, P. H. Diamond, and R. Z. Sagdeev

Phys. Rev. D 94, 063006 (2016) - Published 15 September, 2016

The unexpected observation of an excess of positrons over electrons in cosmic ray experiments has generated a lot of excitement as a possible signature of dark matter. The authors of this recent Physical Review D paper suggest that astrophysical mechanisms involving ordinary matter could also account for the signal. The authors elucidate a new mechanism that would explain a significant part of the data.
