Acceleron

Last updated

An acceleron is a hypothetical scalar boson postulated to relate the mass of the neutrino to the dark energy conjectured to be responsible for the accelerating expansion of the universe. [1] [2] [3] The acceleron was postulated by researchers at the University of Washington in 2004. [4]
