Quasi-Dark Matter Candidate – Heavy, Charged Spin 1 Particle

A heavy, charged spin 1 particle is postulated as a quasi-dark matter candidate. Quasi-dark matter is a postulated form of matter that interacts with the fundamental forces, including gravity, and is not baryonic. However, quasi-dark matter is assumed to have different interaction characteristics than dark matter. Currently, dark matter is credited with comprising 23% of the mass of the universe. Quasi-dark matter is an additional postulated form of matter that comprises a portion of this 23% mass fraction. The quasi-dark matter particle and its antiparticle are postulated to form a system that would produce a set of energy levels and a spectrum analogous to the charmonium system. The associated spectrum and postulated analogue electromagnetic quasi-dark matter interaction present a unique signature that could be observed experimentally. Although the proposed particle and associated analogue electromagnetic interaction are speculative, they provide an additional avenue for the detection of matter that is not baryonic.
