摘要
Assuming that the positron excess in PAMELA satellite data is a consequence of annihilations of cold dark matter, we consider from a model-independent perspective if the data show a preference for the spin of dark matter, and find that they do not. We then perform a general analysis of annihilations into two-body states to determine what weighted combination of channels best describes the data. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
