In view of the current interest in combining different observations to constraint annihilating weakly interacting massive particle (WIMP) dark matter (DM), we examine the relation between the Sommerfeld effect at the recombination epoch and in the galactic halo. By considering an up-to-date collection of interpolations of cosmic rays (CRs) lepton data (AMS-02 2014, Fermi and PAMELA), as DM annihilation signals, we show that current CRs measurements and recent Planck 2015 constraints from CMB anisotropies almost overlap for DM masses of the order of few TeV, although great theoretical uncertainties afflict CRs and DM descriptions. Combining CRs fits we obtain proper minimal regions allowed by CMB observations, especially for [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] annihilation channels, once assumed viable values of the efficiency factor for energy absorption at recombination: the results are consistent with those obtained by the Planck collaboration but allow a slightly larger overlap between CRs constraints from the lepton sector and CMB. Incoming AMS-02 measurements of CRs antiprotons will help to clarify the conundrum.

ABSTRACT There is a growing set of observational data demonstrating that cosmic rays exhibit small-scale anisotropies (5°–30°) with amplitude deviations lying between 0.01–0.1 per cent that of the average cosmic ray flux. A broad range of models have been proposed to explain these anisotropies ranging from finite-scale magnetic field structures to dark matter annihilation. The standard diffusion transport methods used in cosmic ray propagation do not capture the transport physics in a medium with finite-scale or coherent magnetic field structures. Here, we present a Monte Carlo transport method, applying it to a series of finite-scale magnetic field structures to determine the requirements of such fields in explaining the observed cosmic ray, small-scale anisotropies.
