Résumé

I will discuss the possibility that neutrons decay in a nonstandard way, perhaps into the dark matter of the Universe. This has profound implications for neutron stars which rules out the simplest scenarios. I will describe ways to avoid this exclusion and how they will be tested.

Des rafraîchissements seront servis à café et biscuits à 10:30 dans le V-215.
