PAMELA mission: magnetic spectrometer on satellite Italian-Russian cosmic ray experiment Preliminary PAMELA data analyzed in M. Cirelli, M. Kadastik, M. Raidal, A. Strumia, arxiv:0809.2409 [hep-ph].
(i) Preliminary PAMELA data show dramatic increase in e + /(e + + e ) spectrum in cosmic rays above 10 GeV [compatible with less sensitive HEAT and AMS-01 results] (ii) no excess in p/p compared with predicted background (iii) at low energy E e + < 10 GeV positron flux is suppressed by present solar magnetic polarity (iv) observed also (e + + e ) excess in balloon experiments PPB-BETS and ATIC-2 with sharp cut-off just below 1 TeV Main assumption: excess is due to DM annihilation into SM particles: DM + DM e + e,, q q, W + W,, h + Note: DM annihilation into W, Z, h and quarks produces p, which appears not to be enhanced Excess could as well be due to astrophysical sources like nearby pulsars! DM assumed some elementary particle: spin 0,1/2,1 and M m m any SM particle mass (non-relativistic limit)
Fits of e + (left), e + + e (center), p (right) data. Galactic DM profiles and propagation models are varied to provide the best fit DM with M 150 GeV that annihilates into W W Positron fraction 30 PAMELA 08 preliminary 10 3 1 background? 0.3 1 10 10 2 10 3 10 4 Positron energy in GeV 10 1 10 2 E 3 e e cm 2 sec GeV ATIC2 PPBBETS08 EC 10 3 10 10 2 10 3 10 4 Energy in GeV pp 10 2 10 3 10 4 10 5 PAMELA 08 background? 1 10 10 2 10 3 10 4 p kinetic energy in GeV Fit for M = 150 GeV excluded by p background?

If data real and DM annihilation responsible for observed spectral excesses: two solutions singled out 1) a heavy DM (M> 10 TeV) [WIMP] that annihilates predominantly into W W pairs 2) a DM which annihilates predominantly into SM leptons, with no strong dependence on the DM mass Note: should balloon experiment (e + + e ) excess not be confirmed by ATIC-4 and/or GLAST 2) would be ruled out, with 1) as the only possibility
Dark Matter some history: Fritz Zwicky 1933 investigates Coma Cluster [cluster of galaxies]: 1) Luminous mass M B (B= brightness) 2) Virial theorem mass finds M tot = 160 M B [first time virial theorem used] at that time M B estimated by far two low [factor should be about 9] Virial theorem: kinetic energy = - 1 2 potential energy M tot 2 R totv 2 G v mean average velocity of objects; R tot overall extension of system Beginning of 1970 s: hidden mass could explain many not understood observations like motions of stars within galaxies [velocity profiles]

What is DM? Presently unknown! mass, spin, couplings, etc. Cold Dark Matter (CDM) candidates: only exist in extensions of the SM, typically Weakly Interacting Massive Particle (WIMP) Well known possibility: SUSY together with R-parity s-particles can be pair produced only must exist a Lightest Supersymmetric Particle (LSP) [lightest neutralino=majorana particle of spin 1/2, neutral partners of SUSY partners of Higges and gauge bosons] exists heavy neutral stable state, which is able to cluster (clumping and forming halo of galaxies) Very interestingly: M. Cirelli, M. Kadastik, M. Raidal, A. Strumia paper suggests that cosmic ray spectra of positrons, electrons, anti-protons and protons could give a clue to discriminate between different cold dark matter candidate scenarios! Dark Energy=??? another story (cosmological constant, negative pressure state?)
