The Heavy Photon Search at Jefferson Lab is looking for a hypothetical particle from a hidden “dark sector.”

The scientists develop methods to study neutrinos from star explosions and search for unknown particles and forces with possible ties to dark matter.

Dark matter hunters around the world pursue three approaches to look for fingerprints of ghostly WIMPs: on the Earth’s surface, underground and in space.

Honored for early theoretical predictions that helped elucidate the nature of the strong force and the structure of the proton, he is still shaking things up today.

A new experiment  is on the hunt for dark photons, hypothetical messengers of an invisible universe.
