Abstract:The ISS-based Calorimetric Electron Telescope (CALET) is directly measuring the energy spectrum of electron+positron cosmic rays up to 20 TeV. Annihilation or decay of dark matter (DM) could produce signatures in the positron and electron cosmic-ray spectra, thus the parameter space of DM candidate models can be probed by studying these messengers. The TeV-region extension of the spectrum provided by CALET is especially important for heavy DM search, since the signature's location in energy is closely correlat… Show more
