Unlocking the Constraints of Dark Ionization with the PandaX Experiment
In a recent paper published in Nature Physics, a team of scientists from the Institute for Advanced Study and the University of Pennsylvania have discovered that an unknown particle, dubbed ‘Pandax’, is responsible for the constraints on the dark ionization fraction of the Universe. This particle, which is thought to be a new form of dark matter, has been found to interact with the normal matter in the Universe, resulting in a decrease in the amount of dark matter that can be ionized. This could have far-reaching implications for our understanding of the Universe and dark matter.
