With experimental results of AMS on the spectra of cosmic ray (CR) $e^{-}$, $e^{+}$, $e^{-}+e^{+}$ and positron fraction, as well as new measurements of CR $e^{-}+e^{+}$ flux by HESS, one can better understand the CR lepton ($e^{-}$ and…
Pulsars have been invoked to explain the origin of recently observed high-energy Galactic cosmic-ray positrons. Since the positron propagation distance decreases with energy, the number of pulsars that can contribute to the observed…
The AMS-02 experiment confirms the excess of positrons in cosmic rays (CRs) for energy above 10 GeV with respect to the secondary production of positrons in the interstellar medium. This is interpreted as evidence of the existence of a…
We analyse predictions of the CR lepton fluxes at the Earth of both secondary and primary origins, evaluate the theoretical uncertainties, and determine their level of consistency with respect to the available data. For propagation, we use…
High energy cosmic ray electrons and positrons probe the local properties of our Galaxy. In fact, electromagnetic energy losses limit the typical propagation scale of GeV-TeV electrons and positrons to a few kpc. In the diffusion model,…
We present the results of new calculations of the energy spectra of cosmic ray electrons, positrons and also positron fraction under assumption that both electrons and positrons are generated by the same Galactic sources, which accelerate…
Pulsars are believed to be sources of relativistic electrons and positrons. The abundance of detections of gamma-ray millisecond pulsars by Fermi Large Area Telescope coupled with their light curve characteristics that imply copious pair…
I review latest results from AMS on electrons and positrons in primary cosmic rays in the GeV to TeV energy range. Separate fluxes for electrons and positrons as well as their sum are presented. Neither of the fluxes is compatible with a…
The cosmic ray energy spectra encode very important information about the mechanisms that generate relativistic particles in the Milky Way, and about the properties of the Galaxy that control their propagation. Relativistic electrons and…
A very interesting puzzle about the origin of electron and positron cosmic rays is deduced from the latests experimental results. We model the propagation of such cosmic rays in terms of a successfully tested two--zone propagation model.…
We present a novel calculation of the spectrum of electrons and positrons from random sources, supernova remnants and pulsars, distributed within the spiral arms of the Galaxy. The pulsar emissivity in terms of electron-positron pairs is…
With the accurate cosmic ray (CR) electron and positron spectra (denoted as $\Phi_{\rm e^{-}}$ and $\Phi_{\rm e^{+}}$, respectively) measured by AMS-02 collaboration, the difference between the electron and positron fluxes (i.e., $\Delta…
We perform a consistent modeling of cosmic ray electrons, positrons and of the radio emission of the Galaxy. For the time we reproduce all relevant data sets between 1 GeV and 1 TeV including the recent AMS-02 positron fraction results. We…
The spatial-dependent propagation model has been successfully used to explain diverse observational phenomena, including the spectral hardening of cosmic-ray nuclei above $200$ GV, the large-scale dipole anisotropy and the diffusive gamma…
Precision measurements by the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS-02) on the International Space Station of the primary cosmic-ray electron flux and the positron flux will be discussed. The electron flux and the positron flux each require a…
The cosmic-ray positron flux calculated using the cosmic-ray nuclei interactions in our Galaxy cannot explain observed data above 10 GeV. An excess in the measured positron flux is therefore open to interpretation. Nearby pulsars, located…
The excess of cosmic-ray positrons in the energy range from 10 GeV to few hundred GeV reported by PAMELA and AMS experiments is not consistent with a pure secondary origin and requires the introduction of a source term. The presence of…
High energy cosmic ray electrons and positrons, during propagation in the Galaxy, mainly lose energy through either the inverse Compton scattering (ICS) off of the interstellar radiation field (ISRF) or emitting synchrotron radiation in the…
High-energy cosmic-ray electrons reveal some remarkable spectral features, the most noteworthy of which is the rise in the positron fraction above 10~GeV. Due to strong energy loss during propagation, these particles can reach Earth only…
Recent results from the PAMELA satellite indicate the presence of a large flux of positrons (relative to electrons) in the cosmic ray spectrum between approximately 10 and 100 GeV. As annihilating dark matter particles in many models are…
