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.

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.
