Messenger from the dark side: Dark matter may interact with normal matter via a hypothetical particle known as a dark photon. (Courtesy: Shutterstock/80’s Child) A new analysis conducted by an international team of physicists suggests that dark photons – hypothetical particles that carry forces associated with dark matter – could explain certain data from high-energy scattering experiments. The analysis, which was led by Nicholas Hunt-Smith and colleagues at the University of Adelaide, Australia, could lead to new insights into the nature of dark matter, which remains a mystery even though standard models of cosmology suggest it makes up around 85%…

Precision frontier: the ATLAS experiment on the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. (Courtesy: CERN) In a thorough review of proton collision data from CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC), physicists working on the ATLAS experiment have determined the strength of the strong force to the highest level of precision to date. While the result is in agreement with the Standard Model of particle physics, the approach could be used to search for new physics in future experiments. As defined by quantum chromodynamics (QCD), the strong force is responsible for the binding of quarks together via exchanges of massless gluons. The strong…
