The Effect of Neutron Decaying to Dark Matter on Properties of Neutron Stars with Hyperons

It has been reported that there is a discrepancy of 4σ in the neutron lifetime measurement with two methods, i.e., the trap method (measuring the number of neutrons remaining in the various time intervals) and beam method (measuring the number of protons formed from regulated neutrons currents). Fornal and Grinstein (2019) proposed that the possibility neutrons decay into the dark matter can explain this discrepancy. In this study, the author asses the consequence of the proposal by studying the impact on neutron stars with Hyperon. Based on our numerical calculation we found that dark matter may be present in the core of a neutron star because it only appears at very high densities, and the population is negligible with a maximum population of about 0.1%
