<p>Scientists from the international XENON collaboration have announced today a surprising excess of events in the data from their XENON1T. </p>
<p>The results have been first presented today, June 17, in a webinar given by the graduate student Evan Shockley (University of Chicago). </p>
<p>The excess of events could be due to a very small residual amount of tritium. However, it could also be due to some exotic physics, indicating the presence of solar axions or pointing to unknown properties of neutrinos.</p>
