A New Particle is Being Born in ATOMKI that Could Make a Connection to Dark Matter

Abstract

Something very extraordinary was observed in a series of experiments at the Institute for Nuclear Research (ATOMKI) in Debrecen in 2016: a possible signature of the fifth fundamental interaction of nature, as the journal Nature discussed soon afterward [1]. Our experimental findings, published in Physical Review Letters [2], have attracted the attention of the international community of theoretical and experimental physicists [3]. They were all wondering: Could a fifth fundamental interaction of nature have been detected instead of the dark photon originally targeted by these experiments? confirm existence
