HIGH-ENERGY COLLISIONS OF PROTONS AND NUCLEI AND THE POSSIBILITY OF DETECTING DARK MATTER PARTICLES IN THE SPECTRA OF SOFT PHOTONS

Interpretation of the spectra of soft photons in transverse momentum in pp collisions is proposed taking into account the X17 boson with a mass of 17 MeV - a new particle, a possible candidate for the role of dark matter particles. On the basis of combining two-dimensional quantum chromo dynamics and quantum electrodynamics in the tube model, the masses of dark matter particles are found. An interpretation is proposed for the detection of a 38 MeV boson in the spectra of photons emitted in the reactions of protons with carbon nuclei at an incident proton momentum of 5.5 GeV/c. The X38 boson with a mass of 38 MeV has a mass close to the boson mass obtained by us, equal to 35 MeV for an electromagnetic tube. This new particle was discovered in experiments carried out recently in Dubna for the p+C -> 2 gamma + X reaction. It was proposed to consider bosons X17 and X38 as particles of dark matter.
