Dark matter or correlated errors: Systematics of the AMS-02 antiproton excess

Several studies have pointed out an excess in the AMS-02 antiproton spectrum at rigidities of 10–20 GV. Its spectral properties were found to be consistent with a dark-matter particle of mass 50–100 GeV which annihilates hadronically at roughly the thermal rate. In this paper, we reinvestigate the a...
