17 8% of total Data to 2028 Positron fraction A new phenomena has occurred e ± energy [GeV]
18 Interpretation of the AMS e+ fraction: - DM - Pulsars - Something else 18
19 Physics Example: Comparing data with a minimal model. Positron fraction Φ e + = C e + Ε γ e+ + C s Ε γ s e -E/E s Φ e - = C e - Ε γ e- + C s Ε γ s e -E/E s Data Fit to Data with Model χ 2 /d.f. = 28.5/57 e ± energy [GeV] The agreement between the data and the model shows that the positron fraction spectrum is consistent with e ± fluxes each of which is the sum of its diffuse spectrum and a single common power law source.
20 A fit to the data in the energy range 1 to 350 GeV yields: γ e- γ e+ = 0.63 ± 0.03, i.e., the diffuse positron spectrum is less energetic than the diffuse electron spectrum; γ e- γ S = 0.66±0.05, i.e., the source spectrum is more energetic than the diffuse electron spectrum; C e+ /C e- = ± 0.001, i.e., the weight of the diffuse positron flux amounts to 10% of that of the diffuse electron flux; C S /C e- = ± , i.e., the weight of the common source constitutes only 1% of that of the diffuse electron flux; 1/Ε s = ± GeV 1, corresponding to a cutoff energy of GeV.

27 Selected events are grouped into 5 cumulative energy bins: , , , and GeV. Their arrival directions are used to build sky maps in galactic coordinates, (b,l), containing the number of observed positrons and electrons North Galactic Pole (90 lat.) Solar System South Galactic Pole (-90 lat.) North-South direction East-West direction Forward-Backward direction Galactic C
28 The relative fluctuations of the positron ratio, e + /e -, across the observed sky map show no evident pattern Significance ( )
29 The amplitudes of spherical harmonic contributions at fixed angular scale,, are fit to data for dipole ( =1), quadrupole ( =2) and octopole ( =3) The fit amplitudes,, are found to be consistent with the hypothesis of isotropy at all energies and angular scales

51 Anti-matter & Exotic sources (DM?) The electron bump? No bump in Fermi, AMS, PAMELA No fresh source of anti-p up to 100 GeV Positron excess reaching maximum 56
52 A structure around 135 GeV? Fermi data on a possible gamma line 57
53 15 years of space astroparticle physics, leave us with a number of hot issues : Electron/positrons ratio vs spectra Gamma rays line? CR spectral change? B/C spectral change? Pbar at higher energy 58
54 Scientific Objectives of future e/γ missions in space High energy particle detection in space Search for Dark Matter signatures Study of cosmic ray spectrum and composition High energy gamma astronomy Follow-up mission to both Agile Fermi/LAT and Pamela AMS-02 Extend the energy reach to the TeV region, providing better resolution Overlap with CTA on gamma ray astronomy Run in parallel for some time 59

65 Conclusions Direct measurements of Cosmic Radiation in the 100 GeVmulti TeV scale could reveal fundamental phenomena which cannot be accessed by ground based accelerator physics It is a challenging but rewarding field, requiring large, accurate, experiments, operating for long period in space Accurate measurement of charge and energy are needed INFN will continue to work in this field, exploiting the large investments which have been made, with the goal of maximizing the science return followoing a strategy which, in the medium to long term, could lead to second generation experiments which would be able to fully address CR physics at the multi TeV scale
