I understand that some lighter variants of the theoretical chargino are charged, with 1/2 spin, are possibly stable, are fermion-like, and are possible candidates for dark matter. Is a chargino an elementary particle?
(I thought that dark matter had to have no charge, else it could be detected by how it affects the electromagentic spectrum.)
What's hard about trying to learn about these particles is that there are 1000's of articles that talk "about" chaginos and neutralinos as if the reader already knows what they are. But I cannot find one that tells me what one "is." If I had enough of them would they form a solid? Do they annihilate when they come in contact with normal matter? These kinds of questions are ignored by articles I've found on the I-net. Is this because no one knows their answers?
Thanks
