High-Precision Cross-Sections for Galactic Cosmic Rays: Highlights from XSCRC2024 and Follow-Up Actions
Abstract
The interpretation of high-precision Galactic cosmic-ray data from AMS-02, CALET, DAMPE, etc., is fundamentally limited by nuclear cross-sections uncertainties. This proceeding highlights the results presented at the XSCRC2024 workshop, which aims at bringing together the cosmic-ray, nuclear, and particle physics communities, with the goal of improving cross-section measurements across various domains, from nuclei production for constraining cosmic-ray transport parameters, to antiproton and anti-deuteron production for dark matter searches. This workshop lead to a comprehensive roadmap for new cross-section measurements in the next decade, as well as other outcomes.
