Title: Testing Dark Decays of Baryons in Neutron Stars

Abstract

The observation of neutron stars with masses greater than one solar mass places severe demands on any exotic neutron decay mode that could explain the discrepancy between beam and bottle measurements of the neutron lifetime. If the neutron can decay to a stable, feebly interacting dark fermion, the maximum possible mass of a neutron star is 0.7M_⊙ , while all well-measured neutron star masses exceed one M_⊙. The existence of 2M_⊙ neutron stars further indicates that any explanation beyond the standard model for the neutron lifetime puzzle requires dark matter to be part of a multiparticle dark sector with highly constrained interactions. Beyond the neutron lifetime puzzle, our results indicate that neutron stars provide unique and useful probes of GeV-scale dark sectors coupled to the standard model via baryon-number-violating interactions

Neutron Stars Exclude Light Dark Baryons

Journal Article McKeen, David ; Nelson, Ann E. ; Reddy, Sanjay ; ... - Physical Review Letters

Exotic particles carrying baryon number and with a mass of the order of the nucleon mass have been proposed for various reasons including baryogenesis, dark matter, mirror worlds, and the neutron lifetime puzzle. Here, we show that the existence of neutron stars with a mass greater than 0.7 M_⊙ places severe constraints on such particles, requiring them to be heavier than 1.2 GeV or to have strongly repulsive self-interactions.

Probing Dark Sectors with Neutron Stars

Journal Article Gardner, Susan ; Zakeri, Mohammadreza - Universe

Tensions in the measurements of neutron and kaon weak decays, such as of the neutron lifetime, may speak to the existence of new particles and dynamics not present in the Standard Model (SM). In scenarios with dark sectors, particles that couple feebly to those of the SM appear. We offer a focused overview of such possibilities and describe how the observations of neutron stars, which probe either their structure or dynamics, limit them. In realizing these constraints, we highlight how the assessment of particle processes within dense baryonic matter impacts the emerging picture—and we emphasize both the flavor structure ofmore »« less

Heating neutron stars with GeV dark matter

Journal Article Keung, Wai-Yee ; Marfatia, Danny ; Tseng, Po-Yan - Journal of High Energy Physics (Online)

An old neutron star (NS) may capture halo dark matter (DM) and get heated up by the deposited kinetic energy, thus behaving like a thermal DM detector with sensitivity to a wide range of DM masses and a variety of DM-quark interactions. Near future infrared telescopes will measure NS temperatures down to a few thousand Kelvin and probe NS heating by DM capture. We focus on GeV-mass Dirac fermion DM (which is beyond the reach of current DM direct detection experiments) in scenarios in which the DM capture rate can saturate the geometric limit. For concreteness, we study (1) amore »« less

Dark mesons at the LHC

Journal Article Kribs, Graham D. ; Martin, Adam ; Ostdiek, Bryan ; ... - Journal of High Energy Physics (Online)

A new, strongly-coupled “dark” sector could be accessible to LHC searches now. These dark sectors consist of composites formed from constituents that are charged under the electroweak group and interact with the Higgs, but are neutral under Standard Model color. In these scenarios, the most promising target is the dark meson sector, consisting of dark vector-mesons as well as dark pions. In this paper we study dark meson production and decay at the LHC in theories that preserve a global SU(2) dark flavor symmetry. Dark pions — like the pions of QCD — can be pair-produced through resonant dark vector meson production, pp → ρ_D → π_Dπ_D, and decay in one of two distinct ways: “gaugephobic”, when π_D→more »« less
