29 May 2005 | | Subject: | astro-ph | | Abstract: | Bounds on masses and abundances of Strange Quark Nuggets (SQNs) are inferred from a seismic search on Earth. Potential SQN bounds from a possible seismic search on the Moon are reviewed and compared with Earth capabilities. Bounds are derived from the data taken by seismometers implanted on the Moon by the Apollo astronauts. Most importantly, we show that the Apollo data implies that the abundance of SQNs in the region of 10 kg to one ton must be at least an order of magnitude less than would saturate the dark matter in the solar neighborhood. The Earth and Apollo data taken together imply that it is unlikely that if dark matter is made of SQNs, those SQNs were formed when big bang temperatures were in the range $10^4-10^6$ GeV. | | Source: | arXiv, astro-ph/0505584 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
