Liveblogging CDMS Talk from My Couch
The First Excited State —
Authority: 400
Post-Talk UPDATE: My take: No conclusive discovery of dark matter, but we couldn’t realistically expect that anyway. However, there are two events that, while not definitively dark matter, can’t be ruled out either. The announcement wasn’t earth-shattering, but it was nonetheless exciting. It was cool for ...3 days ago -
