Baryon
In particle physics, a baryon is a type of composite subatomic particle, including the proton and the neutron, that contains an odd number of valence quarks, conventionally three.
Cosmic microwave background
The cosmic microwave background (CMB or CMBR) is microwave radiation that fills all space in the observable universe.
See Dark radiation and Cosmic microwave background
Dark matter
In astronomy, dark matter is a hypothetical form of matter that appears not to interact with light or the electromagnetic field. Dark radiation and dark matter are dark concepts in astrophysics.
See Dark radiation and Dark matter
Electromagnetism
In physics, electromagnetism is an interaction that occurs between particles with electric charge via electromagnetic fields.
See Dark radiation and Electromagnetism
Photon
A photon is an elementary particle that is a quantum of the electromagnetic field, including electromagnetic radiation such as light and radio waves, and the force carrier for the electromagnetic force.
Radiation
In physics, radiation is the emission or transmission of energy in the form of waves or particles through space or a material medium.
See Dark radiation and Radiation
Standard Model
The Standard Model of particle physics is the theory describing three of the four known fundamental forces (electromagnetic, weak and strong interactions – excluding gravity) in the universe and classifying all known elementary particles.
See Dark radiation and Standard Model
Sterile neutrino
Sterile neutrinos (or inert neutrinos) are hypothetical particles (neutral leptons – neutrinos) that interact only via gravity and not via any of the other fundamental interactions of the Standard Model. Dark radiation and Sterile neutrino are dark matter.
