What if dark matter came in two states?
The absence of a signal could itself be a signal. This is the idea behind a new study published in the Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics (JCAP), which aims to redefine how we search for dark matter, showing that it may not be necessary to find the same “clues” everywhere in order to interpret it. In particular, the study suggests that even if we observe a certain type of signal at the center of our galaxy — an exce…
There is something disconcerting and at the same time attractive about dark matter: it governs everything, but we do not see it. We know that it is there because galaxies rotate too fast, because light curves more than expected and because the universe, as we know it, simply could not exist without it. And yet we do not know exactly what it is. It is estimated that about 85% of the matter in the universe is dark matter. It does not emit light, i…
Searching for traces in space: Does dark matter consist of two particles? Researchers provide a new explanation for mysterious gamma rays in the Milky Way. The post Nothing to see? Why exactly that could betray dark matter first appeared on ingenieur.de - Jobbörse und Nachrichtenportal für Ingenieure.
Perhaps the search for a single type of particle as an explanation for dark matter hinders the solution of the puzzle
