RE: Particle physics @ Utopian-io - Designing an LHC search strategy for unraveling new phenomena
Hello hello!
Finally, analyses are often making use of the energy carried away by some invisible particles. This is in particular crucial for what concerns dark matter, as dark matter is invisible.
So I get that all energy missing in the transverse plane is obviously measured and then linked to the existence of dark matter, providing scientists with the ability to create a dark matter model of some sort?
I admire your efforts, this is such an incredible initiative!
Have a good day!
Not necessarily. Neutrinos are also invisible. Also, mismeasurements induce fake missing energy too.
To summarize, a large amount of missing energy could be related to dark matter, but the Standard Model and experimental effects contribute too (they make the background).
