TL;DR: PAMELA data challenge the current paradigm of cosmic-ray acceleration in supernova remnants followed by diffusive propagation in the Galaxy and find that the spectral shapes of these two species are different and cannot be described well by a single power law.

TL;DR: The satellite-borne experiment PAMELA has been used to make a new measurement of the cosmic-ray antiproton flux and the antipropton-to-proton flux ratio which extends previously published measurements down to 60 MeV and up to 180 GeV in kinetic energy.

TL;DR: The PAMELA satellite experiment has measured the cosmic-ray positron fraction between 1.5 GeV and 100 GeV, and the need to reliably discriminate between the positron signal and proton background has required the development of an ad hoc analysis procedure.
