  • These strange particles would be the carriers of a new, fifth force of nature that normal matter does not experience, but occasionally these dark photons can flip their identities to become regular photons, providing a source of heat. (space.com)
  • We could find such dark photons by observing the intergalactic gas using what's known as the Lyman-alpha forest. (space.com)
  • One possible explanation for this discrepancy is the presence of "dark photons" in our universe , the study authors claim. (space.com)
  • Since astronomers do not currently understand the identity of dark matter, the field is wide open with possibilities as to what it could be. (space.com)
  • However, the latest results from the BaBar collaboration offer no sign of dark photons, thus placing new limits on these types of models. (aps.org)
  • Several attempts have been made to extend the standard model, particularly into the realm of dark matter [1] . (aps.org)
  • It is speculated that within dark matter there might be a family of particles and forces-a so-called "dark sector"-that has thus far escaped detection. (aps.org)
  • The researchers did not detect a dark photon signature in their electron-positron collision data, allowing them to place new stricter limits on dark sector models, including ones trying to explain a possible discrepancy between the measured and predicted value of the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon. (aps.org)
  • A telescope dropped dark matter data from the edge of space. (sciencenews.org)
  • The results are interpreted as 95% confidence-level limits in models where weakly interacting dark-matter candidates are pair-produced via an s-channel axial-vector or vector mediator. (duke.edu)
  • Dark-matter candidates with masses up to 415 (580) GeV are excluded for axial-vector (vector) mediators, while the maximum excluded mass of the mediator is 1460 (1470) GeV. (duke.edu)
  • The composition of dark matter is one of the puzzling topics in astrophysics. (sns.it)
  • Dark matter is believed to be five times as prevalent as visible matter. (symmetrymagazine.org)
  • But so far, they've never directly detected a dark matter particle, so they're not sure exactly what dark matter is like. (symmetrymagazine.org)
  • One idea is that some of the dark matter could actually be primordial black holes. (symmetrymagazine.org)
  • By using gravitational waves to learn about the properties of black holes, LIGO might be able to prove or constrain this dark matter theory. (symmetrymagazine.org)
  • Even if primordial black holes do exist, it's doubtful that they account for all of the dark matter in the universe. (symmetrymagazine.org)
  • If that is the case, dark matter particles might bind together to form dark objects that are as compact as a neutron star. (symmetrymagazine.org)
  • In a novel hypothesis put out in a study just published in Physical Review Letters, dark matter may be composed of ultralight dark photons that heated up our cosmos. (neutrino-science.com)
  • The ultralight dark photon is a good candidate for dark matter in particular, with a mass up to 20 orders of magnitude less than that of the electron. (neutrino-science.com)
  • According to Matteo Viel "In contrast to how cosmic filaments are typically used to investigate the small-scale properties of dark matter, in this instance we have used the low redshift intergalactic medium data as a calorimeter for the first time to determine whether all the heating processes that we are aware of are adequate to reproduce the data.

  • These photons will heat the cosmic web, but unlike other heating mechanisms based on astrophysical processes, such star formation and galactic winds, this heating process is more diffuse and effective even in areas that are not very dense. (neutrino-science.com)
  • that consists of ordinary matter. (aps.org)
  • These pockets of dense matter-mostly photons at this point in the universe-might have collapsed under their own gravity and formed early black holes. (symmetrymagazine.org)
  • In addition, the results are expressed in terms of 95% confidence-level limits on the parameters of a model with an axion-like particle produced in association with a photon, and are used to constrain the coupling gaZγ of an axion-like particle to the electroweak gauge bosons. (duke.edu)
  • When numerous photons from a laser pulse bombard an argon atom, they ionize it. (scitechdaily.com)
  • In the absence of the gate pulse, source photons travel through the transparent medium (Fig. 1d). (2physics.com)
  • We first investigate the relative attenuation of a weak source pulse as a function of mean incident gate photons. (2physics.com)
  • So when a proton and an antiproton annihilate, they can produce photons, or pairs of other particles and antiparticles, such as a neutrino-antineutrino pair, or a positron-electron pair. (stackexchange.com)
