Low-energy antinuclei measurements for background-free indirect dark matter searches and PBH signatures
Abstract
Light low-energy cosmic ray antinuclei constitute powerful probes for detecting dark matter or other sources of new physics in our Galaxy. This ASTRA Initiative Mission Concept reviews the theoretical motivation, highlighting the transformative potential and current experimental status. Motivated by exciting tentative results, it makes a clear case for the need for the next flagship mission to confirm or refute claims of cosmic antinuclei as signs of new physics.
