Possible causes of a rise with energy of the cosmic ray positron fraction

Based on general considerations rather than model-dependent fits to specific scenarios, we argue that an increase with energy of the positron fraction in cosmic rays, suggested by several experiments at E>~10 GeV, most likely requires a primary source of electron-positron pairs. We discuss the po...
