A Comment on the Strong Interactions of Color-Neutral Technibaryons

Abstract

We estimate the cross section for the scattering of a slow, color-neutral technibaryon made of colored constituents with nuclei. We find a cross section of order $A^{2}10^{-45}$ cm${}^2$, where $A$ is the atomic number of the nucleus. Even if technibaryons constitute the dark matter in the galactic halo, this is too small to be detected in future underground detectors.
