Description

We show how light axions generic in String Theory provide definitive predictions that are borne out by deep lensing and galaxy formation data from JWST. This wave-like behaviour was predicted by pioneering simulations in Taiwan, with pervasive substructure on the de Broglie scale that is very distinguishable from standard heavy particle CDM. This dark matter solution reinforces the absence of heavy partner MSSM candidates at the LHC and we argue strengthens the case for unification at the EW scale.
