Closing In on Dark Matter: LUX-ZEPLIN Time Projection Chamber Sets New Limits
New results from the world’s most sensitive dark matter detector put the best-ever limits on particles called WIMPs, a leading candidate for what makes up our universe’s invisible mass. With 280 days of data, the LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) collaboration has made a world-leading search for weakly interacti
You're viewing a single thread.
The new result is nearly five times better than the previous world’s best published result and finds no evidence of WIMPs above a mass of 9 GeV/c2.
That's pretty neat. I wonder if we're getting close, or if we are making mistaken assumptions.
Given the behavior wimps are either much lower energy, but a lot of them, or purely virtual artifacts, potentially of quantum effects.
Once you go below a certain threshold the difference becomes less meaningful.
I really like the different theories SpaceTime showcases, it really triggers the imagination :) I recommend them, if you don't know about them
Is that a show or something? Sounds like one of the old PBS ones I saw 20 years ago or so.
It is most likely exactly that :) They made quite a few videos on papers proposing alternative theories for gravity
