CMS seeks dark matter in electron pairs far from collisions

The CMS experiment at CERN is pursuing a novel approach to dark matter detection, targeting an unusual signature: two low-momentum electrons appearing some distance from proton-proton collisions. This search focuses on a theory proposing a partner state that allows for delayed decay and potential visibility, addressing the reason “no existing experiment has been able to observe dark matter directly.” “It’s entirely possible that the universe is full of this kind of dark matter,…
