Talk:List of hypothetical particles

Tables

I think the bullet pointed list in the sections: 'Dark energy candidates', 'Dark matter candidates', 'other', 'From experimental anomalies' and 'From superseded and obsolete theories' should be turned into tables. TrueMoriarty (talk) 08:37, 21 January 2025 (UTC)

Not sure if tables are the best way to go but done. Superseded theories do not merit a table because there is not much to classify as these are based on old ideas.--ReyHahn (talk) 10:52, 21 January 2025 (UTC)

Dark matter candidates

• The lead example should be unabbreviated and the sentence needs to be more accurate (There is probably a slight grammatical inconsistency).
• The GIMP one should be redirected to a page which mentions it more elaborately. If there are no such pages, a redirect should be made to this page.
• More particles should be added from here.

Dark energy candidates

• The descriptions should be tweaked a bit to make it more comprehendible
• Website references should be added as people usually don't have to these books and journals

From experimental anomalies

• The descriptions should be tweaked a bit to make it more comprehendible
• I can find mentions of three more particles which fits in the heading, but they seem to be only a variant of the X17 one.

Gluino

@ReyHahn What exactly do you mean by 'eight gluons and eight gluinos'? TrueMoriarty Talk | Contribs 15:35, 3 March 2026 (UTC)

check the supersymmetry section TrueMoriarty Talk | Contribs 15:35, 3 March 2026 (UTC)

I probably did not write it, I split it from the list of particles page. Probably means that there are 8 gluons as in the number of generators of SU(3).--ReyHahn (talk) 15:53, 3 March 2026 (UTC)

I guess it will be better to replace it? TrueMoriarty Talk | Contribs 15:58, 3 March 2026 (UTC)

With what?--ReyHahn (talk) 16:04, 3 March 2026 (UTC)

Majorana fermions that interact via the strong force as a color octet I can reference it TrueMoriarty Talk | Contribs 16:08, 3 March 2026 (UTC)

Sure go for it.--ReyHahn (talk) 16:53, 3 March 2026 (UTC)
