The recent HAWC observations of very-high-energy $\gamma$-ray halo around Geminga and Monogem indicate a very slow diffusion of cosmic rays, which results in tiny contribution of positrons from these two pulsars to the local flux. This…

Recent results from the AMS-02 data have confirmed that the cosmic ray positron fraction increases with energy between 10 and 200GeV. This quantity should not exceed 50%, and it is hence expected that it will either converge towards 50% or…
We calculate the solar-modulated energy spectra of cosmic-ray antiprotons ($\bar{p}$'s) from two candidate primary sources, i.e., evaporating primordial black holes and the annihilation of neutralino dark matter, as well as for the…
