Tag: dark matter
Only about 5% of the matter in the Universe is visible. The rest is of an unknown nature and is referred to as dark matter (27%) and dark energy (68%). Finding out what it consists of is a major question for modern science.

ALICE estimates how transparent the Milky Way is to antimatter
The finding will help space- and balloon-based searches for antimatter that may have originated from dark matter

CAST-CAPP inches closer to axion dark matter
The CAPP axion haloscope at the CAST experiment has hunted for axions from the Milky Way’s “halo” of dark matter, and has narrowed down the theoretical space in which to look for these hypothetical particles

LHCb reveals secret of antimatter creation in cosmic collisions
The finding may help determine whether or not any antimatter seen by experiments in space originates from dark matter
-
ATLAS and CMS chase the invisible with the Higgs boson
The collaborations have set stringent new bounds on the fraction of Higgs bosons transforming into invisible particles
-
BASE opens up new possibilities in the search for cold dark matter
The Baryon Antibaryon Symmetry Experiment (BASE) at CERN’s Antimatter Factory has set new limits on how easily axion-like particles could turn into photons

Exploring new ways to see the Higgs boson
The ATLAS and CMS collaborations presented their latest results on new signatures for detecting the Higgs boson at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider

Fresh antimatter study by ALICE will help with search for dark matter
The study of light antinuclei – from creation to annihilation – will bolster future indirect dark matter searches

FASER: CERN approves new experiment to look for long-lived, exotic particles
The experiment, which will complement existing searches for dark matter at the LHC, will be operational in 2021
