Does solar physics provide constraints to weakly interacting massive particles?
We investigate whether present data on helioseismology and solar neutrino fluxes may constrain weakly interacting massive particle (WIMP)-matter interactions in the range of WIMP parameters under current exploration in WIMP searches. We find that, for a WIMP mass of 30 GeV, once the effect of the presence of WIMPs in …
