Dark Matter's Quantum Nature Leaves No Trace in Detectors

A graph from the PRL publication showing that the quantum nature of axion dark matter (shown on the left), an ultralight wave-based dark-matter candidate, vanishes when viewed by a modern detector (shown on the right), whether or not researchers are using advanced quantum technologies to detect them.

Data from Proton and Ion Targets Offers Synergies to Probe Meson Structure

Photoproduction of the ρ’ meson can occur on either proton or heavy (lead) nuclei. The two possibilities lead to the same 4-pion mass spectrum. (Credit: Neha Devi et al)
