Description
Gravitational accretion of dark matter in neutron stars may constitute a mechanism to check for further indirect effects of its existence. In this way, dark matter annihilations taking place within such compact astrophysical objects may prevent the appearance of additional particle population of hadrons inside the neutron star core. We discuss on the experimental consequences of this possibility.
