World's most sensitive lab-based axion search presents its first results
Phys.org ·
The Brief
- The ALPS II collaboration reported the first results from its Any-Light-Particle-Search II experiment.
- The experiment is described as the most sensitive lab-based instrument of its kind for searching for hypothetical axions.
- The experiment is headed by Axel Lindner at the DESY research centre in Germany.
Why it matters
Axions are hypothetical particles that are candidates for dark matter, so a more sensitive laboratory search can narrow which axion properties remain possible.
