Inverse Problem of Cosmic-Ray Electron/Positron from Dark Matter

arXiv:0905.1574 · doi:10.1016/j.physletb.2009.08.044

Abstract

We discuss the possibility of solving the inverse problem of the cosmic-ray electron/positron from decaying/annihilating dark matter, and show simple analytic formulae to reconstruct the source spectrum of the electron/positron from the observed flux. We also illustrate our approach by applying the obtained formula to the just released Fermi data as well as the new HESS data.
