TL;DR: It is found that the positron fraction increases sharply over much of that range, in a way that appears to be completely inconsistent with secondary sources, and is concluded that a primary source, be it an astrophysical object or dark matter annihilation, is necessary.

TL;DR: Euclid is a European Space Agency medium-class mission selected for launch in 2020 within the cosmic vision 2015-2025 program as discussed by the authors, which will explore the expansion history of the universe and the evolution of cosmic structures by measuring shapes and red-shift of galaxies as well as the distribution of clusters of galaxies over a large fraction of the sky.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide ingredients and recipes for computing signals of TeV-scale Dark Matter annihilations and decays in the Galaxy and beyond, and provide the propagation functions for charged particles in the galaxy, for several DM distribution profiles and sets of propagation parameters.

TL;DR: The results from the completed Cryogenic Dark Matter Search (CDMS II) experiment, which searched for dark matter in the form of weakly interacting massive particles (WIMP), cannot be interpreted with confidence as evidence for WIMP interactions, but neither event can be ruled out as representing signal.

TL;DR: In this paper, a set of distance and velocity data was rediscussed to determine the surface mass density of the Galactic disk, and the best available estimate of the relative contributions of disk mass and halo mass to the local integral surface density was obtained from modeling of the galactic rotation curve.

Super-higgs effect in supergravity with general scalar interactions
TL;DR: In this article, the tensor calculus for supergravity was used to construct the most general action for the scalar multiplet coupling, and under which conditions supersymmetry is broken spontaneously and show explicitly that the gravitino acquires a mass by absorbing the Goldstone fermion.

Flavour-changing neutral interactions in broken supersymmetric theories
TL;DR: In this paper, the supersymmetric partners of conventional fermions (squarks and sleptons) must be almost degenerate in mass to ensure an efficient suppression of flavour-changing neutral interactions.
