Description
A new study about the production of antideuterons in high-energy cosmic-ray collisions is presented in this work. Antideuteron production cross-section is obtained through the coalescence model, which is simulated using an afterburner and the Monte Carlo generator EPOS-LHC. Coalescence model key parameter ($p_0$) is calculated from the comparison of simulation to updated collider data, including ALICE-LHC results. Antideuteron propagation in the Galaxy is evaluated employing GALPROP. The resulting antideuteron flux shows a larger magnitude compared to previous studies and a slightly different shape in the energy distribution as a consequence of the coalescence parameter ($p_0$) energy dependence.
