Abstract

If charged massive particles (10² GeV {less-than or approximate} m_x {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.
