| Abstract: | And many physicists expected that the Large Hadron Collider - the most powerful particle accelerator ever built - would produce heavy, novel particles, including WIMPs. Although the individual particles have a ridiculously low mass, the universe-forming Big Bang could have churned out axions in dizzying abundance - enough, in fact, to constitute all the dark matter in the cosmos. Along with Yonit Hochberg at Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Murayama recently helped develop the SIMP (or strongly interacting massive particles), a whole new breed of dark matter particle. To catch any fleeting axions, researchers at the Axion Dark Matter eXperiment at the University of Washington (top) cool a cylinder to nearly absolute zero (left) before it emits a strong magnetic field, which should transform the theoretical dark matter particles into radio waves.
