Detection of spectral hardenings in cosmic-ray boron-to-carbon and boron-to-oxygen flux ratios with DAMPE
文献摘要:
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-to-carbon flux ratio(B/C)and the boron-to-oxygen flux ratio(B/O)are very essential probes of the CR prop-agation.The energy dependence of the B/C ratio from previous balloon-borne and space-based experi-ments can be well described by a single power-law up to about 1 TeV/n within uncertainties.This work reports direct measurements of B/C and B/O in the energy range from 10 GeV/n to 5.6 TeV/n with 6 years of data collected by the Dark Matter Particle Explorer,with high statistics and well controlled sys-tematic uncertainties.The energy dependence of both the B/C and B/O ratios can be well fitted by a bro-ken power-law model rather than a single power-law model,suggesting the existence in both flux ratios of a spectral hardening at about 100 GeV/n.The significance of the break is about 5.6σ and 6.9σ for the GEANT4 simulation,and 4.4σ and 6.9σ for the alternative FLUKA simulation,for B/C and B/O,respec-tively.These results deviate from the predictions of conventional turbulence theories of the interstellar medium(ISM),which point toward a change of turbulence properties of the ISM at different scales or novel propagation effects of CRs,and should be properly incorporated in the indirect detection of dark matter via anti-matter particles.
