Search for gamma-ray spectral lines from dark-matter annihilation with the DAMPE satellite

The annihilation of dark-matter particles may lead to the production of monochromatic gamma-ray emission. In this contribution, the search for spectral lines in the gamma-ray spectrum, using eight years of data collected with the space-borne Dark Matter Pa ...

Observation of a Spectral Hardening in Cosmic Ray Boron Spectrum with the DAMPE Space Mission

Jennifer Maria Frieden, Chiara Perrina

Secondary cosmic ray fluxes are important probes of the propagation and interaction of high-energy particles in the Galaxy. Recent measurements of primary and secondary cosmic ray nuclei have revealed unexpected spectral features that demand a deeper under ...

Indirect search for dark matter in the gamma-ray flux with the DAMPE space mission

Jennifer Maria Frieden

Modern cosmological models include a nearly neutral, non-baryonic form of matter with extremely low speed in the context of structure formation, commonly known as ``cold dark matter''. Astrophysical observations indicate that dark matter constitutes 26.4% ...

Search for relativistic fractionally charged particles in space

Jennifer Maria Frieden, Chiara Perrina, Jian Wang, Zhirui Xu, Yi Zhang, Siyuan Wang, Songmei Wu, Junqiu Liu, Johan Juul Chang, Jie Chen

More than a century after the performance of the oil drop experiment, the possible existence of fractionally charged particles (FCPs) still remains unsettled. The search for FCPs is crucial for some extensions of the Standard Model in particle physics. Mos ...

Detection of spectral hardenings in cosmic-ray boron-to-carbon and boron-to-oxygen flux ratios with DAMPE

Jennifer Maria Frieden, Chiara Perrina

Boron nuclei in cosmic rays (CRs) are believed to be mainly produced by the fragmentation of heavier nuclei, such as carbon and oxygen, via collisions with the interstellar matter. Therefore, the boron-tocarbon flux ratio (B/C) and the boron-to-oxygen flux ...
