Why it is here

A composite magnetic-inelastic explanation with a coincident-photon discriminator.

Machine-assisted summary

The authors construct composite dark-baryon dark matter with an inelastic magnetic transition, find that TeV-scale masses and 100–500 keV splittings can fit the LZ event across several halo models, and predict an accompanying photon signal for some recoils.
