Physicist seeks WIMPs
Professor wins fellowship to study particles that make up dark matter
Yale professor Dan McKinsey has received a $625,000 grant to search for WIMPs -- weakly interacting massive particles, that is.
McKinsey, a professor in the physics department and head of the McKinsey Group at Yale University, received the Packard Fellowship, a five-year grant of $625,000 from the David and Lucille Packard Foundation, to carry out his research in the field of particle physics, specifically in the detection of particles difficult to locate using current methods.
"There could be a particle called the WIMP -- and various evidence from astrophysics and...
