Why it is here

Unlike a WIMP, one such particle should produce multiple collinear recoils—and potentially accompanying electron or photon activity—within a few microseconds, giving LZ a direct discriminator.

Machine-assisted summary

The authors propose fractionally charged, near-Planck-mass gravitino dark matter whose electromagnetic xenon cross section is large but whose flux is extremely small, giving a recoil scale and event rate compatible with the LZ candidate.
