We study possible signatures of dark matter particles in cosmic rays. The majority of cosmic rays observed on Earth is generated by supernovae and their remnants, and by active galactic nuclei. However, there is a prospect that dark matter particles contribute to some extent to the cosmic ray flux. Dark matter particles may eventually decay or annihilate, and these events would generate cosmic rays.

我们研究宇宙射线中暗物质粒子的可能特征。在地球上观测到的大多数宇宙射线都是由超新星及其残余物以及活动的星系核产生的。然而，暗物质粒子有可能在一定程度上对宇宙射线流有所贡献。暗物质粒子最终可能会衰变或湮灭，而这些事件将产生宇宙射线。
