Are superheavy stable quark clusters viable candidates for the dark matter? | | Norma Susana Mankoc Borstnik

31 Jan 2017 | | Abstract: | The explanation for the origin of families of quarks and leptons and their
properties is one of the most promising ways to understand the assumptions of
the Standard Model. The Spin-Charge-Family theory, which does propose the
mechanism for the appearance of families and offers an explanation for all the
assumptions of the Standard Model, predicts two decoupled groups of four
families. The lightest of the upper four families has stable members, which are
correspondingly candidates to constitute the dark matter. We study the weak and
the "nuclear" (determined by the colour interaction among the heavy fifth
family quarks) scattering of such a very heavy baryon by ordinary nucleons in
order to show that the cross-section is very small and consistent with the
observation in most experiments so far, provided that the quark mass of this
baryon is about 100 TeV or above. | | Source: | arXiv, 1701.9006 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
