Does the CMB have a Dark Secret?

摘要: It is suggested that the formation of dark matter binaries would produce radiation in the same way that the formation of hydrogen atoms does in HII regions. A hydrogen HII region like the Orion Nebula with its Lyman alpha radiation is considered as a model for dark matter particles combining into binaries. This conjecture is considered in detail and it is found to provide a surprising fit to the Planck data isotropy and dipole. It could be regarded as an alternative explanation. A precise mass for the dark matter particle would be 10.7 ZeV (1.07 x 1013 GeV). Examination of the Plank structure of the CMB also suggests there is further physics to be revealed. Observational tests are suggested to check the role of dark matter in the Galaxy Halo.
