Experiments deep underground are actively searching for weakly interacting massive particles as candidates for dark matter.

Detecting a weakly interacting massive particle in a laboratory would provide direct evidence for the particle nature of dark matter.

A super weakly interacting massive particle produced in the early universe could account for the observed dark matter density if it is a long-lived supersymmetric particle.

Cosmologists are analyzing collision data for signatures that could indicate the presence of super weakly interacting massive particles.
