Read article 'Strong interest in feeble interactions'
The FIPs 2020 workshop was structured around portals that may link the Standard Model to a rich dark sector: axions, dark photons, dark scalars and heavy neutral leptons.
Read article 'Cornering WIMPs with ATLAS'
The ATLAS collaboration has released new monojet and dijet searches for WIMPs based on the full Run-2 data set.
Read article 'ALICE’s dark side'
Precision measurements of the production and annihilation of light antinuclei are sharpening the search for dark matter.
Read article 'LHCb explores dark-sector confinement'
LHCb has probed hidden-valley scenarios which exhibit confinement in an analogous way to how the strong nuclear force confines quarks.
Read article 'Researchers grapple with XENON1T excess'
The excess could be due to a difficult-to-constrain tritium background, solar axions or solar neutrinos with a Majorana nature, says the collaboration.
Read article 'Funky physics at KIT'
The FUNK experiment has set an improved limit on the existence of hidden photons as candidates for dark matter with masses in the eV range.
Read article 'First physics for Belle II'
The collaboration scoured four months of electron-positron collisions at SuperKEKB for evidence of invisibly decaying Z′ bosons.
Read article 'CMS goes scouting for dark photons'
The CMS collaboration recently used a dedicated set of high-rate “scouting” triggers to extend their search for dark photons to lower energies.
Read article 'BASE tests antimatter’s dark side'
Working at CERN’s Antiproton Decelerator, the international BASE team has set the first laboratory limits on the interaction between antimatter and dark-matter axions
