DeepikaIt’s been six years since the axion project announced a breakthrough in the field of quantum physics, and now we’re finally ready to reveal the price of the elusive axion.
The axion is a hypothetical particle that has been theorized as the “missing piece” of the Standard Model, but until now was generally believed to be impossible to detect.
Last night I couldn’t get a better look at the price of the light-matter axion due to the heavy- burden that it carries. I decided to go with the dark matter axion as a more reliable reference, and as such, the price was $10.
The axion is a hypothetical particle that has been theorized as the missing piece of the Standard Model, but until now was generally believed to be impossible to detect. The price of this hypothetical “dark matter” particle has been a topic of scientific debate.
The mass of this particle is unknown, but if its mass is between 2 and 6 billion electron volts (GeV), it has tremendous gravitational attraction. This makes it very difficult to detect. A small quantity of the dark matter axion is enough to produce a gravitational effect on small objects, such as a coin. If a coin is placed in the sun, the axion would cause it to rotate.
The most common way of measuring the gravitational effect of this particle is to measure the mass of the particle, and then the energy of the particle. If this particle has a mass below about 10,000 GeV, it’s a very, very small particle. If it has a mass of around 30,000 GeV, it’s a very massive particle. In addition, the energy of the particle is very small compared to the gravitational force of the Earth.
Axions are a hypothetical particle whose origin and nature are not yet known. They can produce the gravitational force which is responsible for the rotation of the earth.
The axion mass is of particular interest because it’s in the range of the axion particle which is supposed to be the ultimate particle responsible for the Big Bang. Axions are also a possible candidate for dark matter.
