“…Above a few GeV, the astrophysical background of positrons is not under control as for antiprotons. As a matter of fact, the positron excess reported by AMS-02 [56] could be explained by the presence of young and nearby pulsars. In addition, the lack of knowledge about these systems makes it difficult to distinguish this hypothesis from an exotic component to explain the data.…”

“…The indirect detection constraints from CMB measurements [34], gamma-ray measurements from dwarf galaxies [35,36] and the inner galactic region [37] and e + flux measurement from AMS-02 [38]. The next constraints we consider are the gamma ray observations from Fermi-LAT and MAGIC in dwarf galaxies [35,36].…”

“…It has been gathering data since May 2011 detecting and identifying cosmic-ray electrons, positrons, protons, anti-protons, heavy nuclei up to Zinc (Z=30) and photons. Recently, first results on the measurement of the cosmic-ray positron fraction and on the absolute fluxes of electrons and positrons have been published [1][2][3][4] and will be reviewed in this presentation. The positron fraction has been measured with unprecedented accuracy up to 500 GeV and emphasizes the need of a primary source of positrons to explain the rise of the positron fraction at high energies.…”
