Abstract
Assuming that charged massive particles (CHAMPs) have a Maxwell-Boltzmann velocity distribution, truncated at the galactic escape velocity, and that CHAMPs comprise the galactic dark matter, we can rule out CHAMPs with masses between 350 and 8.6{times}10{sup 4} TeV/{ital c}{sup 2} in the solar neighborhood. In addition, we can rule out masses of neutral CHAMP-proton composites between 100 and 4{times}10{sup 4} TeV/{ital c}{sup 2}, provided that they charge exchange with C or O nuclei with a cross section having a value in the interval 30 mb--30 b.
