N2 - If charged massive particles (102 GeV {less-than or approximate} mx {less-than or approximate} 1016 GeV) made up the dark halo of the Galaxy, they would be present in large numbers in disk stars. In neutron stars theses particles would form a black hole and destroy the star on time scales {less-than or approximate} 10 yr. Charged massive particles therefore cannot make up even a tiny fraction ({less-than or approximate}10-5) of the dark halo.
