World’s most powerful X-ray laser aims to solve neutron puzzle, find dark matter
SMRTR summary
The world's most powerful X-ray laser, XFEL in Germany, is being used to hunt for axions - hypothetical particles that could be a key component of dark matter. Scientists are using a "light shining through walls" experiment with germanium crystals and a titanium sheet to detect axion conversions, aiming to solve the neutron puzzle and potentially discover physics beyond the Standard Model.
