Active Galactic Nuclei and Transformation of Dark Matter into Visible Matter

TL;DR

This paper explores the hypothesis that dark matter is converted into visible matter in active galactic nuclei via the Penrose process, potentially explaining cosmic ray events and early Universe phenomena.

Contribution

It proposes a novel mechanism linking dark matter decay in active galactic nuclei to observable cosmic rays and early Universe processes, supported by numerical estimates.

Findings

Dark matter decay in active galactic nuclei can produce observable cosmic rays.

Superheavy dark matter particles may decay into visible matter through the Penrose process.

Processes similar to early Universe decay could have contributed to matter formation.

Abstract

The hypothesis that dark matter is converted into visible particles in active galactic nuclei is investigated. If dark matter consists of stable superheavy neutral particles and active galactic nuclei are rotating black holes, then, due to the Penrose process, superheavy particles can decay into unstable particles with larger mass, whose decay into quarks and leptons leads to events in cosmic rays observed by the Auger group. Similar processes of decay of superheavy particles of dark matter into visible matter occurred in the early Universe. Numerical estimates of the processes in active galactic nuclei and in the early Universe are given.
