A largely model-independent framework links dark matter annihilation, mediator decays, and semi-annihilation to both thermal freeze-out and present-day gamma-ray, neutrino, and antimatter fluxes, with benchmarks showing how their relative strengths shape observable spectra.

abstract
Once the energy spectrum of the secondary component is well understood, measurements of the antiproton cosmic-ray flux at the Earth will be a powerful way to indirectly probe for the existence of supersymmetric relics in the galactic halo. Unfortunately, it is still spoilt by considerable theoretical uncertainties. As shown in this work, searches for low-energy antideuterons appear in the mean time as a plausible alternative, worth being explored. Above a few GeV/n, a dozen spallation antideuterons should be collected by the future AMS experiment on board ISSA. For energies less than about 3 GeV/n, the antideuteron spallation component becomes negligible and may be supplanted by a potential supersymmetric signal. If a few low-energy antideuterons are discovered, this should be seriously taken as a clue for the existence of massive neutralinos in the Milky Way.

GAPS has constructed and launched a stratospheric balloon spectrometer that uses silicon trackers and TOF detectors to identify low-energy antiprotons, antideuterons, and antihelium via exotic-atom formation and annihilation products.
Updated predictions for cosmic antinuclei fluxes from dark matter yield tighter upper limits on light DM annihilation cross sections from AMS-02 antiproton data and show that GAPS could improve those limits by up to an order of magnitude below 50 GeV.
