Dark matter implications of the neutron anomaly

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2023-05-24 v1

Abstract

Motivated by the neutron decay anomaly, we reconsider the neutron decay model nχχχn \rightarrow \chi\chi\chi, where the new species χ\chi plays the role of dark matter. We precisely compute the χˉnχχ\bar{\chi} n \rightarrow \chi\chi rate finding that fitting the anomaly compatibly with all bounds needs two ''generations'' of the χ\chi particle.
