An experiment first devised 30 years ago is now commencing led by a team of international scientists to spot axions, mysterious particles linked to dark matter.
Dark matter is theorized to make up more than 30 percent of the matter-energy composition of the universe, yet has proved hard to detect.Axions are theoretical particles that are linked to dark matter.
These particles, collectively termed WISPs have a very small mass and react very weakly with the remaining matter particles. They arise naturally in some versions of the Standard Model of physics and the researchers hope their presence may explain observations that are not accounted for within the Standard Model.
The magnetic field is generated using 24 recycled superconducting magnets from the HERA particle accelerator, a powerful laser beam, extremely sensitive detectors, and precise interferometry to look for the elusive particles.
