SECONDARY PRODUCTION AS THE ORIGIN OF THE COSMIC-RAY POSITRON EXCESS [PDF]
ABSTRACT The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer has released high-precision data for cosmic rays, and has verified an excess of positrons relative to expectations from cosmic-ray interactions in the interstellar medium. An exciting and well-known possibility for the excess is production of electron–positron pairs by annihilating dark matter ...

Observation of New Properties of Secondary Cosmic Rays Lithium, Beryllium, and Boron by the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer on the International Space Station [PDF]
We report on the observation of new properties of secondary cosmic rays Li, Be, and B measured in the rigidity (momentum per unit charge) range 1.9 GV to 3.3 TV with a total of $5.4 \times 10^6$ nuclei collected by AMS during the first five years of ...

Propagation of Cosmic Rays and their Secondaries in the Intracluster Medium [PDF]
We present results of the propagation of high-energy cosmic rays (CRs) in the intracluster medium (ICM). To this end, we employ three-dimensional cosmological magnetohydrodynamical simulations of the turbulent intergalactic medium to explore the propagation of CRs with energies between $10^{14}$ and $10^{19}$ eV.

Jupiter as a giant cosmic ray detector [PDF]
All authors highlight financial support of the European Community under the FP7 by an ERC starting grant.We explore the feasibility of using the atmosphere of Jupiter to detect ultra-high-energy cosmic rays (UHECRs).

Gamma-Ray Cosmology and Tests of Fundamental Physics
The propagation of gamma-rays over cosmological distances is the subject of extensive theoretical and observational research at GeV and TeV energies. The mean free path of gamma-rays in the cosmic web is limited above 100 GeV due to the production of ...

Estimated equivalent radiation dose at different altitudes in Earth’s atmosphere
The paper reports the results of simulation of cosmic ray proton transport through Earth’s atmosphere. The main objective of this work is to obtain characteristics of secondary particle fluxes at different altitudes and to convert them to equivalent dose
