938 MeV dark matter, neutron decay, and neutron stars

David McKeen
TRIUMF
Abstract: 

I will discuss the possibility that neutrons decay in a nonstandard way, perhaps into the dark matter of the Universe. This has profound implications for neutron stars which rules out the simplest scenarios. I will describe ways to avoid this exclusion and how they will be tested.
