"K Agasheらは、発見されれば、L RandallとR Sundrumが提案した空間の歪んだ余剰次元の存在を示す証拠となる粒子「Kaluza-Klein（KK）グルーオン」の痕跡に焦点を当てた。 KKグルーオンを発見することは容易ではないだろう。
KKグルーオンは「proton-phobic（陽子恐怖症）」で、生成が非常に難しい。また、トップクォークと強く結合するが、トップ-反トップ対への崩壊はブロードで、より一般的な標準モデルの過程で生じるトップ対と区別しにくい。トップクォークの偏極を利用して、いわゆる前後方非対称性を発見することは巧妙な方法であろう、とAgasheらは述べている。
最大で4 TeVの質量をもつKKグルーオンは約100インバースフェムトバーンのデータで明らかになる可能性があり、このデータはLHCの最初の数年間の運転で蓄積されるであろう。 "

"An excess of cosmic ray electrons at energies of 300–800 GeV"
Here we report an excess of galactic cosmic-ray electrons at energies of approx300–800 GeV, which indicates a nearby source of energetic electrons. Such a source could be an unseen astrophysical object (such as a pulsar5 or micro-quasar6) that accelerates electrons to those energies, or the electrons could arise from the annihilation of dark matter particles (such as a Kaluza–Klein particle7 with a mass of about 620 GeV).

"Kaluza-Klein" electron-positron pairs resulting from the annihilation of these WIMPS.
"If the Kaluza–Klein annihilation explanation proves to be correct, this will necessitate a fuller investigation of such multidimensional spaces, with potentially important implications for our understanding of the Universe,"
Physicists Find Dark Matter, or Something Even More Strange | Wired Science from Wired.com
"John Wefel of Louisiana State University and colleagues report in Nature Wednesday that they could have detected "Kaluza-Klein" electron-positron pairs resulting from the annihilation of these WIMPS.
The KK particles are predicted by multiple-dimension theories of the universe and have long-been a leading candidate as the substance of dark matter."

Dark Matter Proof Found Over Antarctica?
http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2008/11/081119-dark-matter-antarctica.html

Faster than the speed of dark: annihilations above Antarctica
"It is though that the electrons could be coming from annihilations of either neutralinos―a flavor of weakly interacting massive particle (WIMP) that appear in supersymmetric theories―or Kaluza-Klein (KK) particles. These latter particles predicted by a theory that postulates extra, curled up, dimensions in addition to the four we commonly observe. "

Scientists ponder mysterious source of cosmic rays • The Register
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/11/20/cosmic_ray_electrons/

これはPAMELA's results
[0810.4995] Observation of an anomalous positron abundance in the cosmic radiation
"the first indirect evidence of dark matter particle annihilations, or the first observation of positron production from near-by pulsars."
http://arxiv.org/abs/0810.4995
PAMELA MISSION Official Website
"PAMELA has been put in an elliptical orbit at an altitude between 350 and 610 Km, onboard of the Resurs-DK1 Russian satellite by a rocket Soyuz, on the 15th of June 2006."
http://pamela.roma2.infn.it/index.php

Wefel agrees that it is too early to say for certain whether ATIC and PAMELA have seen dark matter. "You cannot make a hard and fast claim," he says. "The case is still open."
But more evidence may come soon. NASA's Fermi telescope (formerly known as GLAST)
In addition, Fermi may be able to spot γ-rays that have come from dark-matter annihilations. "By the spring of 2009, we'll have a lot more information," Morselli says.

'nearby'は3000光年内とのこと
RT: News : Earth being bombarded by dark matter
""In the first case, we have now seen for the first time a nearby source of cosmic rays. Nobody's seen that before," said study co-author John Wefel, a physicist at Louisiana State University.
The term 'nearby' is used in a relative sense, meaning less than 3000 light years from earth. "
