The measurement of the energy spectrum of cosmic ray helium nuclei from 70 GeV to 80 TeV using 4.5 years of data recorded by the Dark Matter Particle Explorer (DAMPE) is reported in this work. A hardening of the spectrum is observed at an energy of about 1.

The precise measurement of the spectrum of protons, the most abundant component of the cosmic radiation, is necessary to understand the source and acceleration of cosmic rays in the Milky Way. This work reports the measurement of the cosmic ray proton fluxes with kinetic energies from 40 GeV to 100 TeV, with 2 / years of data recorded by the DArk Matter Particle Explorer (DAMPE). This is the first time that an experiment directly measures the cosmic ray protons up to ~100 TeV with high statistics.

Article Synopsis
  • Precision measurements of cosmic ray positrons up to 1 TeV were gathered by the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer aboard the International Space Station, analyzing 1.9 million positrons.
  • A significant excess of positrons begins at around 25.2 GeV, followed by a sharp decrease above approximately 284 GeV, indicating a complex energy dependency.
  • The data suggests that at high energies, positrons mainly come from either dark matter annihilation or other astrophysical sources, with a notable energy cutoff of the source term established at about 810 GeV.

We present high-statistics, precision measurements of the detailed time and energy dependence of the primary cosmic-ray electron flux and positron flux over 79 Bartels rotations from May 2011 to May 2017 in the energy range from 1 to 50 GeV. For the first time, the charge-sign dependent modulation during solar maximum has been investigated in detail by leptons alone. Based on 23.
