Dark matter may escape, but dark photons can’t. Here’s how MADMAX could catch them
SMRTR summary
Scientists made progress in detecting dark matter with the MADMAX experiment, using sapphire discs and mirrors to amplify potential dark photon signals. Although no dark photons were detected, the prototype achieved high sensitivity, ruling out their presence in a specific mass range. This success sets the stage for more advanced versions that could detect dark photons and axions, potentially revealing dark matter's nature.
