Profumo Astro-ph Mechanism: : the spinning B of the pulsar strips e - that accelerated at the polar cap or at the outer gap emit that make production of e ± that are trapped in the cloud, further accelerated and later released at τ ~ 10 5 years. Young (T ~10 5 years) ) and nearby (< 1kpc) If not: too much diffusion,, low energy, too low flux.

60 Conclusions We are entered in the new era of precision measurements of (anti)particle fluxes in CR. This opens new scenarios in indirect detection of DM but force us to improve our knowledge of the background investigating standard astrophysics. PAMELA data show anomalies only in the positron sector favoring a lepthophilic DM but combined analysis of PAMELA, FERMI and HESS put strong constraints on that DM model. The knowledge of background and particle fluxes must be improved, stay tuned for new PAMELA data on e ±, p & He, B & C fluxes! THANKS!!!! F.S.
