Towards Understanding the Origin of Cosmic-Ray Positrons
/ Aguilar, M (Madrid, CIEMAT) ; Ali Cavasonza, L (IAS, Julich ; JCHP, Julich) ; Ambrosi, G (INFN, Perugia) ; Arruda, L (LIP, Lisbon) ; Attig, N (IAS, Julich ; JCHP, Julich) ; Azzarello, P (Geneva U.) ; Bachlechner, A (IAS, Julich ; JCHP, Julich) ; Barao, F (LIP, Lisbon) ; Barrau, A (LPSC, Grenoble) ; Barrin, L (CERN) et al.
/AMS
Precision measurements of cosmic ray positrons by the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer on the International Space Station are presented up to 1 TeV based on 1.9 million positrons.The positron flux exhibits a significant excess starting from $25.2 \pm 1.8$ GeV followed by a sharp drop-off above $284^{+91}_{-64}$ GeV.In the entire energy range the positron flux is well described by the sum of a diffuse termassociated with low energy secondary positrons produced in the collision of cosmic rays, and a new source term of high energy positrons with a finite energy cutoff. The finite cutoff energy of the source term, $E_s$, is established with a significance of more than $4 \sigma$, and it's value is determined to be $E_s = 810^{+310}_{-180}$ GeV.These experimental data on cosmic ray positrons show that, at high energies, they predominantly originate either from dark matter collisions or from new astrophysical sources..

The Cosmic Ray Energetics And Mass experiment for the International Space Station (ISS-CREAM) is scheduled for launch in 2017. It is designed to directly measure and identify theelemental composition of incident Galactic cosmic rays from a few hundred GeV to PeV energies.Such large energy range sensitivity is reached by using an electromagnetic sampling calorimeter(CAL) which measures the energy deposit of particle-induced showers.
