We discuss the issue on dark matter capture by neutron stars, in particularthe process of dark matter thermalization, by which the scattering crosssection and the mass of dark matter can be constrained. At first, we evaluatethe thermalization time of self-interacting dark matter and find the effect ofthe self-interaction is small compared with that of the interaction withnucleons. Then we generalize the thermalization time by introducing a set ofnew parameters. We show how the cross section is affected by those newparameters. It turns out that the cross section gets very sensitive to andstrongly constrained by one of the new parameters.
