Abstract

High-energy cosmic ray electrons interaction with Dark Matter particles are considered. In particular, a weakening of energy spectrum of cosmic electrons is predicted resulting from inelastic electron scattering on hyper-pions in the hypercolor extension of the Standard Model. Corresponding cross section and angular distributions of secondary neutrino are calculated and studied. We also briefly discuss some effects of scattering processes of such type.
