Unveiling the Mystery of Dark Matter with Axion Particle Discovery

University of Minnesota researchers have developed a new method to search for axions, hypothetical particles that could help solve the Strong CP Problem in physics. The method involves measuring the decay of the axion into two muons, which has not been used before in neutrino or collider experiments. The researchers believe that by working backward from the muon tracks in the detector to reconstruct such decays, they have a chance to locate the axion and prove its existence. The discovery of axions could be a significant advance in our fundamental understanding of the structure of nature.
