Black hole atom as a dark matter particle candidate

Abstract

We propose the new dark matter particle candidate - the "black hole atom," which is an atom with the charged black hole as an atomic nucleus and electrons in the bound internal quantum states. As a simplified model we consider the the central Reissner-Nordström black hole with the electric charge neutralized by the internal electrons in bound quantum states. For the external observers these objects would look like the electrically neutral Schwarzschild black holes. We suppose the prolific production of black hole atoms under specific conditions in the early universe. © 2014 V. I. Dokuchaev and Yu. N. Eroshenko.
