Scientific paper

Weakly interacting, massive particles (WIMPs or cosmions) can be an important energy transport mechanism in stars. In previous papers, the authors have shown that WIMPs can isothermalize the core of the Sun and solve the solar neutrino problem. This Letter reconsiders the role of cosmions in horizontal-branch stars. The authors demonstrate that WIMPs either rapidly evaporate from horizontal-branch stars or are inefficient at energy transport. They have no effect on the later stages of stellar evolution.
