一种被称为“超对称性”的粒子理论预言了“弱作用重粒子”(WIMPs)的存在——它也许就是暗物质粒子。
A particle theory called "supersymmetry" predicts the existence of weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs), which could be the particles of dark matter.
从很早以前开始,物理学界就一直在寻找关于暗物质的一切,一种最流行的探索途径是寻找WIMPs,即弱作用重粒子。
Physicists have long wondered about dark matter. One of the most popular explanations is that it consists of weakly interacting massive particles, also known as WIMPs.
一旦承认有可能存在性质超越标准弱相互作用重粒子的粒子,人们自然而然会联想还有没有其它可能。
Once one admits the possibility of hidden particles with properties that go beyond the standard WIMP scenario, it is natural to consider the full range of possibilities.
而且,在弱相互作用重粒子衰变成超级弱相互作用重粒子过程中,应该产生光子和电子等副产品,并且这些粒子也会与质量较轻的原子核发生碰撞,将它们撞碎。
In addition, the decay from WIMP to super-WIMP should have produced photons or electrons as a by-product, and these particles can smash into light nuclei and break them apart.
有证据表明宇宙中锂元素的含量比预计要少,所以假设的超级弱相互作用重粒子可以作为一种方法解释这种差异。
There is some evidence that the universe has less lithium than expected, and the super-WIMP hypothesis is one way to explain the discrepancy.
