From underground detectors to cosmic secrets: Exploring dark matter-nucleon interactions

In a new study, scientists report results from the PandaX-4T experiment, setting stringent limits on dark matter–nucleon interactions using low-energy data and the Migdal effect, ruling out significant parameter space for a thermal relic dark-matter model.

Recent searches for #light #fermionic #darkmatter by the #PandaX4T #collaboration - Teams of #astrophysicists worldwide are trying to observe different possible types of dark matter (DM), hypothetical matter in the #universe that does not emit, absorb or reflect light and would thus be very difficult to detect. Fermionic DM, however, which would be made of #fermions, has so far been primarily explored theoretically.
