Temna snov v fiziki okusov

Članek predstavlja problem temne snovi z zornega kota fizike delcev. Sprva je narejen pregled standardnega modela. Nato je pojasnjeno, zakaj obstaja temna snov in kaj so njeni kandidati. Opisani so temni sektorji, katerih delci bi lahko bili kandidati za temno snov. Sledi opis dveh modelov. En vključuje delce aksione, drugi pa temne umeritvene bozone, ki jih imenujemo temni fotoni. Večji poudarek je dan slednjemu. Na koncu so omenjeni eksperimenti, s katerimi bi v prihodnje lahko zaznali delce temne snovi.

Dark matter in flavour physics

This article presents dark matter from the particle physics point of view. Initially, we present an overview of the Standard Model. Then we explain, why there is dark matter in our Universe and what could be its constituents. What follows, is the description of dark sectors, proposed by particle physics as a source of dark matter candidates. Next, we discuss two models, one dealing with axions and the other with dark gauge bosons or dark photons. We focus more on the latter one. In conclusion, we look at the opportunities for future experiments.
