Q:What is the hot subject/topic in particle physics these days?A:The answer to this question depends on what type of particle physics you are interested in.In theoretical high-energy particle physics, which is the name usually given to theories attempting to unify the force of gravity with the other 3 known forces (electromagnetic, strong and weak forces), the hottest theories are string theory: http://superstringtheory.com/
http://pancake.uchicago.edu/%7Ecarroll/cfcp/primer/ Particularly relevant to your question is "The Dark Universe" link, the fifth link on his list. He describes the candidates for dark matter particles there. The Chandra Q&A pages also touch on this subject, for example: http://chandra.harvard.edu/resources/faq/dmatter/dmatter-9.html |
