QuantumT Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Quote There have been a number of dark matter candidates put forward over the years, but we still don't seem to be much closer to finding an answer. This is where the d-star hexaquark - more formally, d*(2380) - enters the picture. https://www.sciencealert.com/d-star-hexaquark-particles-could-be-responsible-for-creating-dark-matter https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1361-6471/ab67e8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mordred Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 I've seen similar claims for diquarks and pentaquarks so I would be hesitant on the DM claim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markus Hanke Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 I do not see how a hexaquark - or any multi-quark system for that matter - would fail to electromagnetically interact with its surroundings (i.e. absorb/emit light), which is a basic property of DM.
