"axion" Wasn't that a laundry detergent?
If it's of minute mass, has no significance, and a brief lifespan, why didn't they call it the "algoron"?

"The axion...and is believed to be a component of much of the dark matter in the universe."
They should have picked a better name!

The axion's lifespan is less than a nanosecond and these physicists are concerned about its recreation? They are too kind-hearted.

Axion sounds like a good name for Ford's next new product.

I've known that the axion is the particle that makes cold fusion possible for years.

Science has finally looked into the mind of your typical Hollywood actor.
Seriously, though, I enjoyed the article.
To: annie laurie
Great article!
Is there any place to read up on the detector/theories on how it records these events?

Interesting. Finding this particle confirms the axion field exists. It's a field proposed to explain why CP symmetry is not observed to be broken in strong interactions. It closes another loose end in the Standard Model.

The headline says "sub-nanosecond" and the body of the article says ten to the minus 13th seconds. That's a tenth of a
picosecond.
If the particle is flying at the speed of light, it'll only go 30 microns, or a 33rd of a millimeter, before it decays.
Interestingly, that's the same order of the thickess of a film emulsion, so by stacking films (with very thin backings), they can get a 3-D view of the process.

Instead of trying to explain these phantoms as 'particles' they need to start treating us like adults and use modern terms like strings and branes.
We can handle the math.
