Dark Matter in the Sun? Science Lovers
Neutrino spectroscopy can check for the existence of dark matter in the Sun
Evidence of the existence of dark matter comes from the large objects, ranging from the caliber of the galaxy to the structure of the universe itself. However, a manuscript published in Science indicated that we could look at something smaller and closer to that of the Sun, if we want to start figuring out what kind of picture of dark matter. Because dark matter interacts through gravity, the Sun has the greatest gravity concentration around us, and the manuscript argues that additional material should affect the production of neutrinos in a way that can be detected.
The script was a Brevia (short report) and the text is not even up to a full page, but the text to crystallize a lot of information into the short pages. The author shows that the Sun's gravity will capture dark matter as it moves through the Milky Way and in the presence of particles of dark matter in the Sun, at least the cause of collisions weak and rarely with ordinary matter. The particles would eventually accumulate in the core of the Sun, which then affects the fusion reactions that occur.
By mapping the Sun today, different reactions occur at different depths, and this will lead to the unequal distribution of neutrinos generated by these reactions. Dark matter will change locations this reaction and cause differences that can be detected in the stream of neutrinos coming out of the sun. Currently we do not have the hardware to detect these differences, but the researchers said that they would soon have a neutrino observatory.
It should be noted that the mapping of solar dark matter that they use contain some assumptions beyond interaction with ordinary matter, such as the mass of the particles themselves and the ability to cancel out one another in a collision. But the researchers showed how changes in these assumptions could produce significantly different results. It means bring in experiments that will be carried out despite not provide convincing evidence of dark matter, at least they could bring some mapping of what is actually particles of dark matter.
