First Results from LHAASO's Dark Matter Search Place Tighter Constraints on Dark Matter's Lifetime
Scientists from the Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO) have presented roughly 1.5 years of observational data, calculating new limits on the lifetime of heavy dark matter particles that have masses between 10^5 and 10^9 giga-electron volts. The study, entitled “Constraints on heavy decaying dark matter from 570 days of LHAASO observations,” was recently published as a highlight letter in Physics Review Letter.
