Title | Sexaquark Dark Matter |
Abstract | There may be a so-far-undiscovered neutral, stable particle composed of 6 quarks, denoted S, with mass m_S ~ 2 m_p. If so, the S is an excellent Dark Matter candidate. I will explain why such a particle would not have been detected, propose experiments to discover it, discuss why direct detection experiments to date do not exclude it, mention some of the numerous astrophysical benefits of a DM-baryon interaction, and how it works cosmologically giving the observed DM-baryon abundance ratio and the baryon asymmetry of the Universe. |
