For example, in 2008 Jonathan Feng and Jason Kumar, both then at the University of California, Irvine, showed how a phenomenon
known as supersymmetry could produce a
hypothetical class of
particles much lighter and more weakly interacting than WIMPs.
Currently, the

It uses a variety of tools including VERITAS, AUGER and COUPP — dedicated telescopes, water tanks and underground «bubble chambers» — to observe
known particles and to search for those that are so far only
hypothetical, such as the dark - matter WIMPs (weakly interacting massive
particles).
