Wimps in a sentence

Detection (of WIMPS or Axions) If dark matter is made up of WIMPs, then millions, possibly billions, of WIMPs must pass through every square centimeter of the Earth each second. citation citation citation Many experiments aim to test this hypothesis.

WIMPs as dark matter Although the existence of WIMPs in nature is hypothetical at this point, it would resolve a number of astrophysical and cosmological problems related to dark matter.

So, while the frequency of WIMPs should decrease gently with distance from the galactic core, the axions should form a standing wave (technically, a soliton) that boosts their frequency near the galactic core.

Lunch is for wimps: Have we lost ourselves in busyness?

WIMPs were invisible, interacted with the universe mostly through gravity and weighed hundreds or even thousands of times as much as protons.

Jeez, what a bunch of wimps farkers are.

The map, which also highlights his view of the Soviet Union as an 'evil empire', describes as a 'subsidiary' of America and refers to most of Western Europe as 'pacifist wimps', is being offered for £1,600 ($2,100).

They're not quite those spooky movies meant for wimps, but they're not really full-blown horror movies either.

To show up for this – then we would see the Antifa Wimps for what they are.

Especially when he goes on one of his infamous rants against the dog-heads, wimps, lousy amateurs, botchers, untalented scumbags, impotent peasants, nursery nurses and Social Democrats that he believes have messed up his ingenious plans.

A few of the WIMPs passing through the Sun or Earth may scatter off atoms and lose energy.

Because of their lack of electromagnetic interaction with normal matter, WIMPs would be dark and invisible through normal electromagnetic observations.

Experimental detection Because WIMPs may only interact through gravitational and weak forces, they are extremely difficult to detect.

Halo WIMPs may, as they pass through the Sun, interact with solar protons, helium nuclei as well as heavier elements.

However, there are many experiments underway to attempt to detect WIMPs both directly and indirectly.

Indirect detection refers to the observation of annihilation or decay products of WIMPs far away from Earth.

Ordinary matter interacts strongly via radiation whereas dark matter particles (WIMPs) do not; both affect the oscillations by way of their gravity, so the two forms of matter have different effects.

The general strategy of current attempts to detect WIMPs is to find very sensitive systems that can be scaled up to large volumes.

Thus, even with the multiple experiments dedicated to providing indirect evidence for the existence of cold dark matter, direct detection measurements are also necessary to solidify the theory of WIMPs.
