Presentation Transcript

  1. Astrophysics Perspectives Simon Swordy - University of Chicago 27th Jan 2009, PEBS meeting, CERN

  2. Science Themes • Measurement of positrons • Measurement of all electrons • Measurement of antiprotons • Measurement of He3/4 and B/C

  3. All electrons (5m^2 sr days)

  4. Electrons ~1GeV

  5. Electrons ~100TeV

  6. Calculations of variations in e Coupled with local SN/plerion activity

  7. Potential Sources of Energy Electrons

  8. Potential PEBs statistics based on an exposure of 5m^2sr days (e.g. 2500 cm^2 sr x 20days, or 4000 cm^2 sr x 12.5 days) PEBS potential in blue Positron ratio

  9. Antiproton/proton ratio Ratio should decrease at high energy

  10. Secondary nuclei (blue - potential PEBS) Are these consistent? (reacceleration, etc) Note: high stats from He3/4 at 100GeV/n
