milliQan is getting ready to have a look at the dark
This October, the first component of the milliQan detector has been installed on top of the CMS experimental cavern, and it is now taking data at the high energy of LHC RUN3. The milliQan detector project was proposed as a new LHC experiment in 2016 aiming to look for the so-called milli-charged particles, theoretical subatomic…
