DM existence has compelling proofs. We know little about the properties of DM. 1, stable; 2, neutral; 3, cold, non-relativistic to behave like gravitational seed of the structure formation; 4, non-baryonic and ~27%, production process MAY require weak interaction with the SM particles (WIMPs).

Taking all the SM particle final states into account, the decay width is much smaller than 45GeV. There must be an invisible channel to have such large width. DM must have large coupling with S.
Constraints on the DM interaction DM couples with S, which couples with gluon. The elastic cross section can be calculated. Bi, Xiang, Yin, Yu,

Conclusions of the quantitative study I Both astrophysical sources, like pulsars, and dark matter can give good fit the AMS-02 data. AMS02 data can not distinguish the two scenarios.

Relax the constraints from dSphs If p-wave process is important, the annihilation is velocity dependent. Therefore annihilation in dSphs is suppressed and the constraints are relaxed. So the DM explanation to AMS02 is still viable. Zhao, Bi et al,
Relax the constraints from dSphs The Breit-Wigner annihilation formula can also relax the constraint from the dSphs Zhao, Bi et al,
Conclusions of the quantitative study II There is a new break at the primary electron spectrum Comments: 1 , This is exactly similar to the case of proton spectrum measured by AMS2. The electron break is at ~60GeV with Δγ ≈ , again precise fit! without second break a wrong background is adopted! ( Without a sufficient understanding of background, we can never understand the signal correctly. ) 3, subtle effect is hid behind the precise data, only by quantitative study can it be revealed.

DM vs pulsar: flux anisotropy vs spectrum wiggles
Summary A recent LHC 750 GeV diphoton resonance signal may have close relation with DM. Especially it predicts large monochromatic gamma ray flux, which can be probed at HERD. AMS-02 provided very precise measurement of electron/positron spectrum. Both DM and pulsars give good fit to data. DM scenario is severely constrained by Fermi dwarf galaxy data. But in a velocity-dependent scenario the constraints are relaxed greatly. DM is still a viable interpretation for the positron excess. DAMPE and HERD can give discrimination of the positron origin if a sharp cutoff is measured. Features at the electron spectrum if detected will prefer the astrophysical origin and nearby CR sources.
What Tools Do We Use? Auger and HiRes measure the highest energy cosmic ray flux, spectrum, and anisotropy ICECube searches for TeV neutrino sources – the most direct signature of hadronic accelerators Fermi detects thousands of new GeV sources VERITAS, HESS, MAGIC, and CANGAROO image and measure spectra and variability of TeV sources Milagro/HAWC, As /ARGO image large-scale structures and searches for new and transient TeV sources AMS-02 (space-based antimatter search ), PAMELA measure ANTIPROTON, POSITRON PLANCK/SNAP
It seems pulsar can fit data roughly. However, the χ 2 /dof=1.8; 6σ deviates from expectaion. Fermi data is not consistent with the AMS02 data. We fit without including the Fermi data. χ 2 /dof=52/80; perfect fit to data! Yuan, Bi, Chen, Guo, Lin, Zhang,

DM vs pulsar: flux anisotropy vs spectrum wiggles
summary AMS-02 opens a new era of cosmic ray study. We need precise quantitative study now. Fermi electron spectrum shows inconsistence with AMS-02 positron ratio, by our fitting program. DM interpretation of AMS-02 positron ratio meets challenges from Fermi gamma observations. In several cases, electron spectrum (with wiggle), B/C, proton spectrum, higher energy and more precise measurement beyond the AMS-02 is required.
