Bill Fulkerson on 06 Sep 20The physicists who run the world's most sensitive experimental search for dark matter have seen something strange. They have uncovered an unexpected excess of events inside their detector that could fit the profile of a hypothetical dark matter particle called an axion. Alternately, the data could be explained by novel properties of neutrinos. More mundanely, the signal could come from contamination inside the experiment.
