Solar Extreme UV radiation and quark nugget dark matter model

TL;DR

This paper proposes that the Sun's unexpected EUV and soft X-ray emissions are externally powered by dark matter particles, specifically within the quark nugget dark matter model, linking solar phenomena to dark matter interactions.

Contribution

It introduces the idea that solar EUV and X-ray emissions are driven by dark matter, providing estimates within the quark nugget model and connecting solar activity to dark matter annihilation events.

Findings

Estimated solar EUV and X-ray spectra from dark matter interactions.

Proposed a link between nano-flares and dark matter annihilation.

Supported the model's consistency with dark matter and visible matter density ratios.

Abstract

We advocate the idea that the surprising emission of extreme ultra violet (EUV) radiation and soft x-rays from the Sun are powered externally by incident dark matter (DM) particles. The energy and the spectral shape of this otherwise unexpected solar irradiation is estimated within the quark nugget dark matter model. This model was originally invented as a natural explanation of the observed ratio $\Omega_{\rm dark} \sim \Omega_{\rm visible}$ when the DM and visible matter densities assume the same order of magnitude values. This generic consequence of the model is a result of the common origin of both types of matter which are formed during the same QCD transition and both proportional to the same fundamental dimensional parameter $\Lambda_{\rm QCD}$. We also present arguments suggesting that the transient brightening-like "nano-flares" in the Sun may be related to the annihilation events which inevitably occur in the solar atmosphere within this dark matter scenario.
