No WIMPS -- only superWIMPS It will be impossible for the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, which comes online next year, to detect "WIMPS" -- the leading dark-matter candidate particles -- say physicists in the US. However, the collider, which will be the world's most powerful particle accelerator, might be able to detect a new class of particles called "SuperWIMPS" -- the decay products of WIMPS. The detection of dark matter particles would represent a major breakthrough in both particle physics and cosmology (Phys. Rev.
