Description

As one of the crazy guys who started working in the field, I will present a short historical introduction to the production and propagation of antinuclei in space. I will summarize the essential ingredients -- the factorization scheme, the coalescence momentum, the importance of kinematics in disentangling between secondary and dark matter antideuterons, spherical versus boosted coalescence -- as well as the main steps and associated papers during the evolution of the field. I will conclude by presenting the current state of the art and associated open questions.
