Why it is here

A composite dark-baryon benchmark matches the recoil while remaining compatible with solar-neutrino and dijet bounds.

Machine-assisted summary

The authors split the lightest baryon of a confining dark-QCD theory into two Majorana states through a dimension-ten operator and fit endothermic scattering through a leptophobic baryon-number vector mediator.
