High Energy Proton-Proton collisions and Baryonium Dark Matter

TL;DR

This paper explores the theoretical possibility of neutral baryonium states formed from string junctions in high-energy proton-proton collisions, proposing their potential as dark matter candidates and discussing observational scenarios.

Contribution

It introduces a topological model of baryonium as a torus with string junctions, linking high-energy physics to dark matter research.

Findings

Baryonium configurations can be modeled as toroidal structures with string junctions.

Potential observational scenarios include collider experiments, cosmic ray interactions, and astrophysical jets.

The model suggests a new class of neutral, baryon charge-zero particles as dark matter candidates.

Abstract

The positive hyperon production asymmetries that have been measured at LHC are real demonstrations of string junction role in the baryon charge transfer at baryon production in HE proton-proton interactions. In order to invent the neutral heavy particle with zero baryon charge as a candidate for Dark Matter, it is necessary to turn back to the times of dual topological unitarization of hadroproduction physics, where the pomeron exchanges play leading role with the growing energies. The topological presentation of pomeron exchange at the HE proton-proton collision is a cylinder that is covered with a quark-gluon net. Taking into account that the junction of three gluons (SJ) has the positive baryon number, as well as the antijunction (antiSJ) is of negative baryon charge, the neutral self-connected baryonium configuration with zero baryon charge is a torus that is covered by a discrete number of hexagons with 3 string junction and 3 antijunction vertices each. The possibilities to observ such baryonium tori are discussed in this paper for three cases: collisions at p-p collider, the cosmic particle collisions with the atmosphere, and in the relativistic jets at the Active Galaxy Nuclei as well.
