I'd say probably not. Because dark matter isn't affected by electromagnetic forces, it doesn't appear to clump in any way at a small scale. So while it may exist in large amounts around massive objects, it is apparently homogeneous. As such, it isn't going to deflect anything moving inside the sort of halo it forms.Doum wrote:Can these jets be use to more define the gravity effect of dark matter that seem to surround many galaxies. I mean can dark matter deflect the path of these giant jets.
Non-baryonic dark matter is viewed as "weakly interacting". Since little is known about the actual particles involved, it isn't known just how weak that is. It could mean not interacting at all, or it could mean interacting just a little- like a neutrino, for instance. But there is an upper bound on the degree to which dark matter and ordinary matter could interact, and it is very small. So even if jets interact with dark matter, so few interactions will be involved that any product of them is likely to be deeply buried in the noise, and undetectable.Also, can these relativitic particles from the jets have sometime a collision with the unknown particle (theory for now) of dark matter ( if we know what the effect of such a collision will be, then i suppose we can detect it).
