- The heavy photon could be the key to a whole rich world with many new dark particles and forces
- Although the idea of heavy photons has been around for almost 30 years, it gained new interest just a few years ago when theorists suggested that it could explain why several experiments detected more high-energy positrons
- Scientists believe that heavy photons also called dark photons, might be mediators of such a dark force, just as regular photons are carriers of the electromagnetic force between normal charged particles
