Curious layman Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 The axion field rapidly runs over the potential barriers and eventually begins oscillations when sufficiently slowed down by friction. Credit: Co & Harigaya Quote In a new study of axion motion, researchers propose a scenario known as "kinetic misalignment" that greatly strengthens the case for axion/dark matter equivalence. The novel concept answers key questions related to the origins of dark matter and provides new avenues for ongoing detection efforts. https://phys.org/news/2020-06-case-axion-dark-gains-traction.amp 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
