27 M. Bourquin November 2005 26 Antiproton Production in the Galaxy Primary antiprotons could originate from the annihilation of the dark matter particles (Susy neutralinos) concealed inside the galactic halo. Secondary antiprotons are produced through the spallation of CR protons on the interstellar materiel. Spectrum peaks at about 2 GeV Presently antiprotons have very large propagation uncertainties, which has to be understood to search for effects due to primary antimatter.

28 M. Bourquin November 2005 27 Antiproton fluxes A M Lionetto, A Morselli and V Zdravkovic (2005)

29 M. Bourquin November 2005 28 Antiproton spectra: Pamela expectation for Diffuse and Convection model in 3 yr Antiproton spectra: PAMELA expectation for DC model A.Lionetto, A.Morselli, V.Zdravkovic, JCAP09(2005)010

30 M. Bourquin November 2005 29

31 M. Bourquin November 2005 30 Dark matter search with antiprotons Secondary antiproton flux Distorsion by WIMP (examples with 964 GeV and 777 GeV neutralino, P. Ullio, astro-ph 9904086)

33 M. Bourquin November 2005 32 Dark matter search with positrons: AMS-02 Neutralinos induce a distortion of the spectrum Sensitivity after one year of data P. Maestro, based on models by Baltz and Edsjö

34 M. Bourquin November 2005 33 Description of CR propagation Diffusion models have several free parameters to be fixed by observations

35 M. Bourquin November 2005 34

36 M. Bourquin November 2005 35 10 Be/ 9 Be – radioactive clock 10 Be (t 1/2 = 1.51 Myr) is the lightest radioactive secondary isotope having a half-life comparable with the CR confinement time in the Galaxy. In diffusion models, the ratio 10 Be/ 9 Be is sensitive to the size of the halo and to the properties of the local interstellar medium 1 year AMS will separate 10 Be from 9 Be for 0.15 GeV/n < E < 10 GeV/n after 3 years will collect  10 5 10 Be

37 M. Bourquin November 2005 36 Antimatter search - antihelium Pamela (2004-2007) Bess Polar (20 days)

38 M. Bourquin November 2005 37 Search for New Particles AMS-01 reported an anomalous event (Z/A = 0.114), background probability < 10 -3 Compatible with a strangelet from a ‘color locked’ model. Ф ~ 10 -5 (m 2 sr sec) -1 Properties: AMS-02: statistics x 10 3

39 M. Bourquin November 2005 38

40 M. Bourquin November 2005 39 Conclusions 1.The new space experiments are quite impressive detectors: Pamela, AMS-02, BESS, CREAM They will collect very precise data on charged CR. They are unavoidable for a full understanding of propagation processes to unravel new physics.

41 M. Bourquin November 2005 40 2. Propagation uncertainties still require multi- messenger observations Ex: Dark matter searches : importance of simultaneous measurements of Be prepared to compare results between CR experiments and gamma rays experiments and with LHC experiments!

42 M. Bourquin November 2005 41 Several Astroparticle experiments are ‘Recognized’ at CERN: RE1RE1(AMS) Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS) for Extraterrestrial Study of Antimatter, Matter and Missing Matter on the International Space Station RE3RE3(AUGER PROJECT) The Pierre Auger Observatory Project RE4RE4(L3+C) L3 + Cosmics Experiment RE5RE5(EXPLORER) The Gravitational Wave Detector EXPLORER RE6RE6(ANTARES) ANTARES: An Undersea Neutrino telescope RE7RE7(GLAST) GLAST RE8RE8(LISA) LISA RE9RE9(NESTOR) NESTOR-Neutrino Extended Submarine Telescope with Oceanographic Research RE2ARE2A(CAPRICE) Cosmic AntiParticle Ring Imaging Cerenkov Experiment RE2BRE2B(PAMELA) Search for Antimatter in Space 3. How make European teams more competitive and to reduce expenditures by pooling resources?

43 M. Bourquin November 2005 42 Create an European Astroparticle Centre at CERN ? It is planned to establish at CERN an AMS Payload Operations and Control Centre (POCC) and a Science Operations Centre (SOC)
