A new experimental technique placed constraints on a potential candidate for dark matter called 'dark photons.'
A new method could help scientists shed light on the universe’s most mysterious substance by narrowing down the hunt for a particular dark matter candidate — hidden"dark photons."comprises around 85% of the matter content of the universe, yet because it doesn’t interact with light or does so only very weakly, it remains effectively invisible.
The mystery of dark matter is such a pressing problem for scientists because it means the matter we see comprises just 15% of the stuff, not including energy, in the cosmos. This has led to the search for potential dark matter candidates, such as so-called"hidden" or"dark" photons. These dark photons would differ from ordinary photons, which are massless particles that make up light, as dark photons are theorized to possess mass. The mass of dark photons would be tiny, however, at around twenty orders of magnitude less than the mass of an electron. It is this ultralight nature that makes dark photons a good candidate for dark matter and would also make them incredibly tough to detect.
