Dark decay of the neutron

Cline, James M., Cornell, Jonathan M.

Understand

New decay channels for the neutron into dark matter plus other particles have been suggested for explaining a long-standing discrepancy between the neutron lifetime measured from trapped neutrons versus those decaying in flight.

Many such scenarios are already ruled out by their effects on neutron stars, and the decay into dark matter plus photon has been experimentally excluded.
Here we explore the decay into a dark Dirac fermion $\chi$ and a dark photon $A'$, which can be consistent with all constraints if $\chi$ is a subdominant component of the dark matter.
Neutron star constraints are evaded if the dark photon mass to coupling ratio is $m_{A'}/g' \lesssim (45-60)\,$MeV, depending upon the nuclear equation of state.
