About: WISP (particle physics)

An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

In particle physics, the acronym WISP refers to a largely hypothetical weakly interacting sub-eV particle, or weakly interacting slender particle, or weakly interacting slim particle – low-mass particles which rarely interact with conventional particles, if ever, and then only via the weak interaction. The term is used to generally categorize a type of dark matter candidate, and is essentially synonymous with axion-like particle (ALP).With the exception of “active” neutrinos, all WISPs are hypothetical particles.

  • In particle physics, the acronym WISP refers to a largely hypothetical weakly interacting sub-eV particle, or weakly interacting slender particle, or weakly interacting slim particle – low-mass particles which rarely interact with conventional particles, if ever, and then only via the weak interaction. The term is used to generally categorize a type of dark matter candidate, and is essentially synonymous with axion-like particle (ALP).With the exception of “active” neutrinos, all WISPs are hypothetical particles. WISPs are the low-mass counterpart of weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs). (en)
