Antiprotons in CR: What Do They Tell Us?

Recent measurements of the CR antiproton flux have been shown to pose a problem for conventional propagation models (Moskalenko et al. 2002). In particular, models consistent with secondary/primary nuclei ratio in CR produce too few antiprotons, while matching the ratio and the antiproton flux requires some artificial assumptions. This may indicate an additional local CR component or new phenomena in particle propagation in the Galaxy. We discuss several possibilities which may cause this problem.
