Event display in the signal region from data taken in 2018. The pixel tracklet candidate with p T = 1.2 TeV is shown by the red solid line and other inner detector tracks by the thin orange lines.

Scientists at the famed Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR) may be too preoccupied to ever look up at the sky they are studying; they are usually crouched over the sort of math that makes ...
