We calculate the antiproton flux due to relic neutralino annihilations, in a two-dimensional diffusion model compatible with stable and radioactive cosmic ray nuclei. We find that the uncertainty in the primary flux induced by the…
The flux of cosmic ray antiprotons from neutralino annihilations in the galactic halo is computed for a large sample of models in the Minimal Supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model. We also revisit the problem of estimating the…
We analyze how the measurements of the low-energy spectrum of cosmic antiprotons can provide information on relic neutralinos. The analysis is focused on the light neutralinos which emerge in supersymmetric schemes where gaugino-mass…
We investigate the possibility that the antiproton-to-proton flux ratio which is measured in cosmic rays may be generated by neutralino-neutralino annihilation in the galactic halo. We study the most general compositions for the relic…

We evaluate the antiproton--to--proton flux ratio which can be generated by neutralino--neutralino annihilation in the galactic halo, considering the most general compositions for the relic neutralinos and modelling the neutralino local…
We carry out a detailed analysis of fluxes of cosmic ray antiprotons, positrons, electrons and photons to be expected from the annihilation of relic heavy neutrinos in the galactic halo. The spectra of particles are evaluated by Monte Carlo…
The leaky box model is now ruled out by measurements of a cosmic ray gradient throughout the galactic disk. It needs to be replaced by a more refined treatment which takes into account the diffusion of cosmic rays in the magnetic fields of…
We estimate the flux of cosmic-ray antiprotons expected from the annihilation of neutralinos in the galactic halo. The antiproton signal may offer an important alternative detection scheme in the case that neutralino annihilation proceeds…
Cosmic ray antiprotons provide an important probe for the study of the galactic Dark Matter, as they could be produced by exotic sources. On the other hand, antiprotons are anyway produced by standard nuclear reactions of cosmic ray nuclei…
The Galactic secondary cosmic ray anti-proton flux calculated with different propagation models is fairly consistent with data, and the associated propagation uncertainty is small. This is not the case for any anti-proton exotic component…
Cosmic ray nuclei fluxes are expected to be measured with high precision in the near future. For instance, high quality data on the antiproton component could give important clues about the nature of the astronomical dark matter. A very…
We report calculations of cosmic-ray proton, nuclei, antiproton, electron and positron energy spectra within a "two-halo model" of diffusive transport. The two halos represent a simple, physically consistent generalization of the standard…
We estimate the amount of antiprotons and positrons in cosmic rays due to neutralino annihilations in the galactic halo assuming that dark matter tends to cluster and that these clusters are not disturbed by tidal forces. We find that,…
Energetic antiprotons in cosmic rays can serve as an important indirect signature of dark matter. Conventionally, the antiproton flux from dark matter decays or annihilations is calculated by solving the transport equation with a…
In a recent paper (Moskalenko et al., 2002), it has been shown that the flux of secondary cosmic ray (CR) antiprotons appears to be contradictory to measurements of secondary to primary nuclei ratios in cosmic rays when calculated in the…
High-energy collisions of cosmic-ray nuclei with interstellar gas are believed to be the mechanism producing the majority of cosmic ray antiprotons. Due to the kinematics of the process they are created with a nonzero momentum; the…
We analyze the data of low-energy cosmic-ray antiproton spectrum, recently published by the BESS Collaboration, in terms of newly calculated fluxes for secondary antiprotons and for a possible contribution of an exotic signal due to…
We report the main results of a paper where recent data of low-energy cosmic-ray $\bar p$ spectrum have been analyzed in terms of newly calculated fluxes for secondary antiprotons and for a possible contribution of an exotic signal due to…
High energy collisions of cosmic ray (CR) nuclei with interstellar gas are believed to be the mechanism producing the majority of CR antiprotons. The distinguishing spectral shape with a maximum at 2 GeV and a sharp decrease towards lower…
