The more energy that goes into the collisions, the more massive particles can be created.
2
But so far, physicists have lacked experimental evidence for the existence of these more massive particles.
3
We report a first search for weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) using the background rejection capabilities of SuperCDMS.
4
One theory says that dark matter exists alongside normal matter in the form of weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs).
5
For many decades, the favored candidates for dark matter particles have been hypothetical shy things called weakly interacting massive particles, or WIMPs.
6
Current dark matter detectors are looking for WIMPs, or weakly interacting massive particles, that connect only with the weak nuclear force and gravity.
7
For decades, the most popular explanation for such phenomena was that dark matter is made of as-yet undiscovered weakly interacting massive particles, known as WIMPs.
8
WIMPs (weakly interacting massive particles) are prime candidates for the so-called dark matter, which might constitute as much as 95 percent of the universe.
