A signal captured in a Lux-Zeplin experiment 1.5 kilometers underground in South Dakota, USA, may provide us with the solution to one of physics' greatest mysteries.
A single high-energy nuclear recoil in the LUX-ZEPLIN detector has sparked a new debate about the nature of dark matter. Several preprints now show that a classic thermal higgsino can hardly reconcile the observation with other measurements. However, heavier higgsinos and alternative inelastic particle models remain in the race. Berkeley (U.S.A.). The LUX-ZEPLIN detector (LZ) has measured in 2.84 tons [...] Der Beitrag Has the LZ detector actual…
