Such a light particle is surprising because particle accelerators routinely create particles of this mass, so the particle should have revealed itself. "To have escaped detection, it must be very weakly interacting," says Hooper. "A particle in [this] range could have been missed," agrees Nigel Smith, head of the UK Dark Matter Collaboration Experiment."... Propose the name WISP for the new particle.
