  27. A Challenging Puzzle for CR Physics • Uncertainties on: • Secondary production (primary fluxes, cross section) • Propagation models • Electron spectrum But antiprotons in CRs are in agreement with secondary production

  28. A Challenging Puzzle for CR Physics P.Blasi, PRL 103 (2009) 051104; arXiv:0903.2794 Y. Fujita arxiv .0904.5298 Positrons (and electrons) produced as secondaries in the sources (e.g. SNR) where CRs are accelerated. But also other secondaries are produced: significant increase expected in the p/p and B/C ratios. D. Hooper, P. Blasi, and P.

  35. Preliminary Preliminary ATIC 1 ATIC 2 ATIC 4 ATIC 1+2+4 ATIC 1+2 All three ATIC flights are consistent “Source on/source off” significance of bump for ATIC1+2 is about 3.8 sigma • J Chang et al.Nature456, 362 (2008) ATIC-4 with 10 BGO layers has improved e , p separation. (~4x lower background) “Bump” is seen in all three flights. Significance for ATIC1+2+4 is 5.1 sigma
