Daemons and DAMA: Their Celestial-Mechanics Interrelations

TL;DR

This paper explores the celestial mechanics of daemons, hypothesized electrically charged dark matter objects, linking experimental detections with orbital dynamics around the Sun and Earth, suggesting a new understanding of dark matter interactions.

Contribution

It provides a model-independent explanation for DAMA signals and links them to daemon trajectories influenced by solar and celestial mechanics, supported by observational data.

Findings

DAMA signals correspond to daemons from elongated heliocentric orbits.

Half-year periodicity in SPb data matches daemon transfer dynamics.

Daemon interaction cross section with solar matter is approximately 1e-19 cm².

Abstract

The assumption of the capture by the Solar System of the electrically charged Planckian DM objects (daemons) from the galactic disk is confirmed not only by the St.Petersburg (SPb) experiments detecting particles with V<30 km/s. Here the daemon approach is analyzed considering the positive model independent result of the DAMA/NaI experiment. We explain the maximum in DAMA signals observed in the May-June period to be associated with the formation behind the Sun of a trail of daemons that the Sun captures into elongated orbits as it moves to the apex. The range of significant 2-6-keV DAMA signals fits well the iodine nuclei elastically knocked out of the NaI(Tl) scintillator by particles falling on the Earth with V=30-50 km/s from strongly elongated heliocentric orbits. The half-year periodicity of the slower daemons observed in SPb originates from the transfer of particles that are deflected through ~90 deg into near-Earth orbits each time the particles cross the outer reaches of the Sun which had captured them. Their multi-loop (cross-like) trajectories traverse many times the Earth's orbit in March and September, which increases the probability for the particles to enter near-Earth orbits during this time. Corroboration of celestial mechanics calculations with observations yields ~1e-19 cm2 for the cross section of daemon interaction with the solar matter.
