The LUX‑ZEPLIN (LZ) collaboration has reported a single unexplained particle interaction recorded on 16 June 2023 at the Sanford Underground Research Facility that matches the expected signature of a WIMP. The team has presented the finding at a conference, uploaded a paper and asked the wider physics community for scrutiny; the result falls short of the 5‑sigma discovery threshold.
