abstract

The measurement of the energy spectrum of cosmic ray helium nuclei from 70 GeV to 80 TeV using 4.5 years of data recorded by the DArk Matter Particle Explorer (DAMPE) is reported in this work. A hardening of the spectrum is observed at an energy of about 1.3 TeV, similar to previous observations. In addition, a spectral softening at about 34 TeV is revealed for the first time with large statistics and well controlled systematic uncertainties, with an overall significance of $4.3\sigma$. The DAMPE spectral measurements of both cosmic protons and helium nuclei suggest a particle charge dependent softening energy, although with current uncertainties a dependence on the number of nucleons cannot be ruled out.

  1. The High-Energy Light Isotope eXperiment (HELIX) Instrument

    astro-ph.IM 2026-07 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    HELIX is a balloon-borne detector that reconstructs light cosmic-ray isotope masses event-by-event; its 2024 Arctic engineering flight validated the major subsystems.

  2. Deciphering the spectral bumps of Galactic cosmic rays through gamma-ray observations of nearby molecular clouds

    astro-ph.HE 2025-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A nearby cosmic-ray source would make the gamma-ray spectral indices of molecular clouds evolve differently with energy, providing a new observational test.

  3. Implication of multiple source populations of Galactic cosmic rays from proton and helium spectra

    astro-ph.HE 2025-11 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    The proton and helium spectra from 1 GeV to 10 PeV can be reproduced only by adding two local sources or a second background population on top of the standard cosmic-ray background.

  4. Co-evolution of cosmic ray energy spectra, composition, and anisotropies

    astro-ph.HE 2025-06 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A four-component model of two Galactic and two extragalactic source populations reproduces the correlated spectral, composition, and anisotropy structures of cosmic rays from tens of GeV to 100 EeV.
