Sterile Neutrino Dark Matter Gets Even Cooler
We don’t yet know what makes up dark matter, but we do know that it doesn’t belong to the familiar particles of the Standard Model. One promising class of very well motivated dark matter candidates are dark neutral leptons, or “sterile neutrinos”.
Nuclear excited states may be key to search for new flavor-violating physics
Collider-based experiments continue to push the energy frontier in search of new particles.
