A dramatic increase in the accuracy and statistics of space-borne cosmic ray (CR) measurements has yielded several breakthroughs over the last several years. The most puzzling is the rise in the positron fraction above ∼10 GeV over the predictions of the propagation models assuming pure secondary production. The accuracy of the antiproton production cross section is critical for astrophysical applications and searches for new physics since antiprotons in CRs seem to hold the keys to many puzzles including the origin of those excess positrons. However, model calculations of antiproton production in CR interactions with interstellar gas are often employing parameterizations that are out of date or are using outdated physical concepts. That may lead to an incorrect interpretation of antiproton data which could have broad consequences for other areas of astrophysics. In this work, we calculate antiproton production in pp-, pA-, and AA-interactions using EPOS-LHC and QGSJET-II-04, two of the most advanced Monte Carlo (MC) generators tuned to numerous accelerator data including those from the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). We show that the antiproton yields obtained with these MC generators differ by up to an order of magnitude from yields of parameterizations commonly used in astrophysics.

“…We measure the flux averaged QEL cross-section in the neutrino energy interval 3 -100 GeV for the 1-track and 2-track samples as well as for their mixture. These measurements are repeated for several QEL MC with different values of of axial mass MA and input parameters of intra-nuclear cascade TQ and a^^^ (for simulation of the re-interactions between particles produced at the primary neutrino collision off the target nucleon with the residual nucleus we used the DPMJET package [15]). …”

Abstract. We have studied the muon neutrino and antineutrino quasi-elastic (QEL) scattering reactions {vnn -^ jjTp and VnP -^ n'n) using a set of experimental data collected by the NOMAD collaboration. We have performed measurements of the cross-section of these processes on a nuclear target (mainly Carbon) normalizing it to the total Vn {vn) charged current cross-section. The results for the flux averaged QEL cross-sections in the (anti)neutrino energy interval 3 -100 GeV are {<^qel)ui, = (0.92±0.02(siai)±0.06(sj/si)) x 10"^® cm^ and {aqei)i?i, = (0.81±0.05(siai)±0.09(sj/si)) x 10"^® cm^ for neutrino and antineutrino, respectively. The axial mass parameter M^ was extracted from the measured quasi-elastic neutrino cross-section. The corresponding result is M^ = 1.05 ± 0.02(siai) ± 0.06(sj/si) GeV. It is consistent with the axial mass values recalculated from the antineutrino cross-section and extracted from the pure Q shape analysis of the high purity sample of f^i quasi-elastic 2-track events, but has smaller systematic error and should be quoted as the main result of this work. Our measured M^ is found to be in good agreement with the world average value obtained in previous deuterium filled bubble chamber experiments. The NOMAD measurement of M^ is lower than those recently published by K2K and MiniBooNE collaborations. However, within the large errors quoted by these experiments on M^, these results are compatible with the more precise NOMAD value.

We have measured the gamma-ray emission spectrum of the Moon using the data collected by the Large Area Telescope onboard the Fermi satellite during its first 77 months of operation, in an energy range from 30 MeV up to a few GeV. We have developed a full Monte Carlo simulation describing the interactions of cosmic rays with the Moon surface and the subsequent production of gamma rays using the FLUKA code. The observations can be explained in the framework of this model, where the production of gamma rays is due to the interactions of charged cosmic rays with the surface of the Moon. From the simulation results we have also inferred the cosmic-ray proton spectrum at low energies starting from the gamma-ray measurements. A time evolution study of the gamma-ray emission will be also presented.
