Dark Matter and Particle Mass Bounds --- Quick notes I
- Mean free path of stellar collision
collision time ~$\frac{mean-free-path }{velocity-of-stars}$~${10^{21}} years$
- Circular velocity
$\frac{v^2}{R} = \frac{GM(R)}{R^2}$
$v = \sqrt{\frac{GM(R)}{R}}$
$M(R) = \frac{v^2 R}{G}$
-rotation curves
v(R)
-Contradicts observation -- need new particles
-Getting observed flattening of the curve for dark matter halo
$M$ ~ $R$
$V$ ~$ R^3$
$\rho$ ~ $1/R^2$
-- Getting some data from experiments
-$\rho ~0.3 \frac{GeV}{cm^3}$
-$R_{halo}$ ~ $100$ kilo-parsec
- Halo mass is computable
- Average velocity is computable ~ 200km/s
