(Phys.org) —Astrophysicists Dan Hooper and Tracy Slatyer of Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, and Princeton University respectively, have written a paper—and uploaded it to the preprint server arXiv—in which they suggest that a massive outflow of charged particles from the center of the Milky Way galaxy, may be partly due to collisions between dark matter particles that result in their annihilation. Their research is part of an ongoing effort by various scientists around the world to better explain, or prove the existence of dark matter.
