  "abstract": "Very recently, PAMELA Collaboration has formally reported two sets of data on positron and antiproton flux measurements done at very high energies and with unprecedented accuracy. The reports reveal a puzzle of great topical interest and importance : it is decisively found that there is a sharp smooth rise of the positron fraction, whereas for antiproton production no such rises occur; rather the fraction either flattens, or shows signs of falling off gradually with increasing energies. The present work is just an attempt to decipher the riddle with the help of a host of radically new ideas about the particle-structure, the multiparticle-production mechanisms and the concept of nucleon break-downs into the constituent partons. The application of these ideas found remarkable successes in the past; exactly similar or more striking are the findings by the present study.",
