Positrons (andelectrons) producedas secondaries inthe sources (e.g.SNR) where CRsare accelerated.But also othersecondaries areproduced:significant increaseexpected in the p/pand B/C ratios.

Mechanism: the spinning B of the pulsar strips e-
thataccelerated at the polar cap or at the outer gap emit thatmake production of e that are trapped in the cloud,further accelerated and later released at ~ 10 5 years.
Young (T < 10 5 years) and nearby (< 1kpc) If not: too much diffusion, low energy, too low flux.

SummaryPAMELA has been in orbit and studying cosmic rays for ~42 months.
>109
triggers registered and >18 TB of data has been down-linked.Antiproton-to-proton flux ratio and antiproton energy spectrum (~100
MeV - ~200 GeV) show no significant deviations from secondaryproduction expectations.
High energy positron fraction (>10 GeV) increases significantly (andunexpectedly!) with energy. Primary source?Data at higher energies might help to resolve origin of rise (spilloverlimit ~300 GeV).
e- spectrum up to ~200 GeV shows spectral features that may point toadditional components. Analysis is ongoing to increase the statistics andexpand the measurement of the e- spectrum up to ~500 GeV and e+
spectrum up to ~300 GeV ( all electrum (e - + e +) spectrum up to ~1 TV).
Furthemore: PAMELA is going to provide measurements on elemental spectra and low mass isotopes with an unprecedentedstatistical precision and is helping to improve the understanding of particle propagation in the interstellar medium
PAMELA is able to measure the high energy tail of solar particles. PAMELA is going to set a new lower limit for finding Antihelium
