Dark Matter and Pulsar Origins of the Rising Cosmic Ray Positron Fraction in Light of New Data From AMS — mentioned by essive

Very strange to see this article posted now. This news from the AMS is over a year old. And clearly, there is considerable debate whether the positron excess is from dark matter particle annihilation or from nearby pulsars. There are many papers on the subject - here is just one example that explains some of the issues - http://arxiv.org/pdf/1304.1840.pdf (PS - I am an astronomy graduate student).

Paper and discussion history. A mention is not an endorsement.
