Charge Asymmetric Cosmic Rays as a probe of Flavor Violating Asymmetric Dark Matter

Understand

The recently introduced cosmic sum rules combine the data from PAMELA and Fermi-LAT cosmic ray experiments in a way that permits to neatly investigate whether the experimentally observed lepton excesses violate charge symmetry.

• One can in a simple way determine universal properties of the unknown component of the cosmic rays.
• Here we attribute a potential charge asymmetry to the dark sector.
• In particular we provide models of asymmetric dark matter able to produce charge asymmetric cosmic rays.
