Axion

aMythicHypothetical: never detected, game threshold is fictional

Fact from the codex

Hypothetical dark matter candidate, named after a laundry detergent. In reality probably extremely light – the threshold here is artistic licence.

Professor Quark says

“An axion. Devised to explain why the neutron is so strikingly balanced electrically – and, on the side, a dark matter candidate. Very light, very shy, hypothetical. A particle that solves a problem you first had to notice.”
