Dark Matter. New Structures, Old Particles

Physics - Nuclear Physics

It is shown that there may exist at least two different forms of dark matter fashioned from existing baryonic matter, specifically, neutrons. The structures developed are considerably more massive than the number of particles from which they are formed and are argued to be candidates for dark matter since they have no electrical charge, no electrons, hence no chemistry and no photonic emission. They can only interact with each other and other baryons through the agency of gravity. Further, one of the forms is much more likely to clump than the other and raises the possibility that there are large-scale formations of different types of the substance, one of which may more easily be disrupted than the other.

This may present further challenges for astronomical experimenters in the task of observing and identifying dark matter, for, on a large scale the distribution of dark matter within, for example, a galaxy may be unique to that constellation. In addition, detection of these structures on a small scale, by the usual method of collision with other matter, may be rendered difficult, if not impossible, for the structures can only be accelerated to high speeds by interacting with intense gravitational fields.

Zielsetzung und Themenschwerpunkte (Objectives and Key Themes)

This work proposes a new model for the composition of dark matter, arguing that it may be composed of existing baryonic matter, specifically neutrons, in novel configurations. It explores the possibility that dark matter exists in two distinct forms, each possessing unique characteristics.

• The nature of dark matter and its composition.
• The role of neutrons in forming dark matter structures.
• The potential for two distinct forms of dark matter.
• The implications of these structures for astronomical observation.
• The relationship between dark matter and baryonic matter formation.

Zusammenfassung der Kapitel (Chapter Summaries)

• Introduction: This chapter establishes the historical context of dark matter research, highlighting the discovery of anomalous velocities in the Coma cluster and the subsequent search for explanations. It introduces the concept of dark matter as a potential combination of ordinary matter, setting the stage for the proposed model.
• Frequency intervals: This chapter delves into the model of the vacuum developed in [4], focusing on the free vacuon mode. It examines the frequency intervals associated with the release of energy equivalents of dark and baryonic matter into space, revealing their close proximity to the inception frequency of the universe. This proximity suggests extremely short time intervals for the formation of these matter types.
• The shape of nucleons and the quark cylinder: This chapter challenges the traditional spherical model of nucleons, proposing a triangular ovoid shape based on the work of Montgomery and Jeffrey [6]. It argues that under extreme conditions, this ovoid deforms into a plane equilateral triangle, forming the basis for the proposed dark matter structures.
• The quark crystal: This chapter introduces the 'quark crystal' structure, a triangular pyramid formed by the confluence of deformed neutrons. It demonstrates the structure's lack of electrical charge and its ability to interact only through gravity, making it a viable candidate for dark matter.

Schlüsselwörter (Keywords)

This work focuses on the concept of dark matter, particularly its composition, and explores the possibility of two distinct forms: the quark cylinder and the quark crystal. These structures are formed from deformed neutrons and interact primarily through gravity. The research utilizes the model of the vacuum developed in [4] and draws upon findings from the WMAP probe [5] to support its conclusions.
