Positron Excess: PAMELA • Observed cosmic-ray positron flux seems to exceed that expected in the context of secondary positron production. • Similar trend had been observed (AMS, HEAT etc.) • Some primary sources are needed! ~1-100GeV (Adriani et al. 2008)
Electron+Positron Flux ATIC/PPB-BETS ee~100-600GeV bump+sharp cutoff (Chang et al. 2008) H.E.S.S. ~1-5TeV spectral drop (H.E.S.S. collaboration 2008)
Recent Results H.E.S.S. (340GeV~) Fermi LAT Abdo et al. (arXiv:0905.0025) Aharonian et al. (arXiv:0905.0105) ATIC/PPB-BETS peak has not been confirmed.
What is the Origin of e± Excess? • Dark Matter Particles annihilation/decay e± Cutoff ~600GeV in the ATIC/PPB-BETS corresponds to the mass of DM particles annihilation: <su>required~O(10-23)cm3s-1 >> <su>thermal Overproductions of anti-proton should be avoided. • Astrophysical Sources Compact objects in our Galaxy (NS, SNR, BH…) Cutoff ~600GeV in the ATIC/PPB-BETS corresponds to the cooling time for e± Required energy ~ 10-3x1050erg/SN ~ 1047erg/SN ~ CR nucleon energy

Any characteristic features in the e± spectrum from astrophysical sources? Can we give any constraints on models by the future missions? • Effects of continuous e± injections on the spectrum • Effects of multiple sources • Constraints in >TeV range by H.E.S.S. • Astrophysical Sources? Or Dark Matter? Can We Discriminate them from the Spectrum?

Continuous injection (expected in pulsars, SNRs, etc.) The spectral peak around Ee~1/bt will be broadened! Case 1:pulsar-type decay cf.) Case 2:exponential decay

e± Injection from Multiple Sources • Total injection energy required to account for the peak of ATIC/PPB-BETS ~ 1050erg ~ Rotation energy of a pulsar with P0~10msec Too efficient? • Local pulsar birth rate ~10-5 yr-1 kpc-2(Narayan 1985; Lorimer+1994) Pulsars which have not observed (e.g. off-beam) should contribute significantly. Young pulsars (age<5x105yr) should exist. • The peak might be made by a pulsar with an extraordinary large amount of energy. • Then, what is the spectrum like on average?

(duration, the functional form of Q0(t), etc.) Red points/errorbars: expected from 5yr obs. by CALET
Summary • We investigate the spectral features of CR e± from continuous/multiple sources (e.g. pulsars). • Continuous injection from a single source comparison with the ATIC/PPB-BETS data peak width:duration of the source TeV tail:upper limit for the duration (B>~1011G for a pulsar) may be measured by CALET • Multiple injections: average flux and its dispersion average e± spectrum should be quite FLAT & SMOOTH. seen in the Fermi data ATIC/PPB-BETS peak is hardly to produce by multiple pulsars, and requires a single (or a few) energetic source(s). spectral cutoff at ~a few TeV seen in the H.E.S.S. data : due to the small number of young and nearby sources
