Expected antideuteron flux produced from the interactions of cosmic rays (IMAGE)
Caption
Expected antideuteron flux produced from the interactions of cosmic rays (high-energy particles in the Galaxy, mainly protons and helium) with the gas in the interstellar medium. These are compared with the flux of antideuteron that different experiments can detect (GAPs, the experiment that will be launched by the end of this year, and AMS-02, that has two detectors, the RICH and the TOF). In this figure you can see that the flux produced (the blue band) from cosmic-ray interactions may explain some events observed by the AMS experiment.
