Determination of the Cosmic Antideuteron Flux in a Monte Carlo approach

Ibarra, Alejandro, Wild, Sebastian

Understand

We investigate in this paper the antideuteron flux produced in high energy collisions of cosmic rays with the interstellar matter.

We employ the Monte Carlo generator DPMJET-III together with the coalescence model to simulate, in an event-by-event basis, the antideuteron production in cosmic ray collisions in our Galaxy.
Then, we use a diffusion model to calculate the expected flux.
We find a secondary antideuteron flux at the Earth which is approximately a factor of two smaller than in previous calculations.
