The bound state of dark atom with the nucleus of substance

The hypothesis of composite $XHe$ dark atoms offers a compelling framework to address the challenges in direct dark matter particles detection, as their neutral, atom-like configuration evades conventional experimental signatures. A critical issue may arise in interaction between $XHe$ and atomic nuclei due to the unshielded nuclear attraction, which could destabilize the dark atom's bound state. To resolve this, we propose a novel numerical quantum mechanical approach that accounts for self-consistent electromagnetic-nuclear couplings. This method addresses to eliminate the inherent complexity of the $XHe$-nucleus three-body system, where analytical solutions are intractable. By reconstructing the effective interaction potential - including dipole Coulomb barrier and shallow potential well - we demonstrate how these features lead to the formation of $XHe$-nucleus bound states and modulate low-energy capture processes. Our model enables validation of the dark atom hypothesis, particularly in interpreting experimental anomalies like annual modulation signals observed in DAMA/LIBRA. These findings advance the theoretical foundation for dark matter interactions and provide a robust framework for future experimental design.

Do we understand the internal spaces of second quantized fermion and boson fields, with gravity included? Relation with strings theories

The article proposes the description of internal spaces of fermion (quarks and leptons and antiquarks and antileptons) and boson (photons, weak bosons, gluons, gravitons and scalars) second quantized fields in a unique way if they all are massless. The internal spaces are described by ``basis vectors'', which are the superposition of odd (for fermions) and even (for bosons) products of the operators $γ^ {a}$. For an arbitrary symmetry $SO(d-1,1)$ of the internal spaces, it is the number of fermion fields (they appear in families and have their Hermitian conjugated partners in a separate group) equal to the number of boson fields (they appear in two orthogonal groups), manifesting a kind of supersymmetry, which differ of the string supersymmetry. On the assumption that fermions and bosons are active (they have momenta different from zero) only in $d=(3+1)$ ordinary space-time, bosons present vectors if they carry the space index $μ=(0,1,2,3)$, and present scalars if they carry the index $σ\ge 5$. The author discusses this theory's latest achievements, with a trial to understand whether the extension to strings or to odd-dimensional spaces can lead to a new kind of supersymmetry. This model, named {\it spin-charge-family} theory, manifests in a long series of papers on the phenomenological success of the theory in elementary particle physics and cosmology.

Quantum-mechanical numerical model of interaction between dark atom and nucleus of substance

The hypothesis of composite $XHe$ dark atoms may provide solution to the long-standing problem of direct searches for dark matter particles. The main problem of the $XHe$ dark atom is its ability to strongly interact with the nucleus of substance, arising from the unshielded nuclear attraction between the helium nucleus and the nucleus of matter. It is assumed that in order to prevent the destruction of the bound structure of dark atom, the effective potential of interaction between $XHe$ and the nucleus of substance must have dipole Coulomb barrier that prevents the fusion of dark matter atom particles with the nucleus of substance. The problem in describing the interaction between dark atom and substance nucleus is the three-body problem, for which an exact analytical solution is not available. Consequently, to assess the physical meaning of the proposed scenario, it is essential to develop a numerical approach. Our approach involves consistently developing an accurate quantum mechanical description of this three-body system, comprising bound dark atom and the external nucleus of substance. We incorporate the necessary effects and interactions to enhance the precision of the results, which helps to elucidate the most significant aspects of the proposed dark atom scenario.

Numerical simulation of Bohr-like and Thomson-like dark atoms with nuclei

The puzzles of direct dark matter searches can be solved in the scenario of dark atoms, which bind hypothetical, stable, lepton-like particles with charge $-2n$, where $n$ is any natural number, with $n$ nuclei of primordial helium. Avoid experimental discovery because they form with primary helium neutral atom-like states $OHe$ ($X~-$ helium), called "dark" atoms. The proposed solution to this problem involves rigorous proof of the existence of a low-energy bound state in the dark atom interaction with nuclei. It implies self-consistent account for nuclear attraction and Coulomb repulsion in such an interaction. We approach the solution of this problem by numerical modeling to reveal the essence of the processes of dark atom interaction with nuclei. We start with the classical three-body problem, to which the effects of quantum physics are added. The numerical model of the dark atom interaction was developed for $O^{--}$ having a charge of $-2$, bound with He in Bohr-like $OHe$ dark atom and for $-2n$ charged $X$ bound with $n$ $α$-particle nucleus in the Thomson-like atom $XHe$. The development of our approach should lead to the solution of the puzzles of direct dark matter searches in the framework of dark atom hypothesis.

Numerical simulation of dark atom interaction with nuclei

The old and still not solved problem of dark atom solution for the puzzles of direct dark matter searches is related with rigorous prove of the existence of a low energy bound state in the dark atom interaction with nuclei. Such prove must involve a self-consistent account of the nuclear attraction and Coulomb repulsion in such interaction. In the lack of usual small parameters of atomic physics like smallness of electromagnetic coupling of the electronic shell or smallness of the size of nucleus as compared with the radius of the Bohr orbit the rigorous study of this problem inevitably implies numerical simulation of dark atom interaction with nuclei. Our approach to such simulations of $OHe-$nucleus interaction involves multi-step approximation to the realistic picture by continuous addition to the initially classical picture of three point-like body problem essential quantum mechanical features.
