Interesting signal at dark matter detector

[Strange]

Quote

With more data than ever before, a surprising signal has emerged above the expected background in an unexpected place: at low, rather than high, energies. There are three possible explanations that we know of:

1. it could be an unaccounted-for contaminant, like tritium,
2. it could be that neutrinos have a surprising property, different than what the Standard Model predicts,
3. or, most excitingly, it could be our first evidence for a special type of light dark matter, such as an axion-like particle.
