VERITAS has observed the blasar 1ES 0806+524 for a total 65 hours from November 2006 to April 2008 resulting in the discovery of very-high-energy with a statistical significance of 6.3 sigma. (...)the inverse-Compton peak is located at ~3.5 x 10^24 Hz.
The synchrotron and inverse Compton peak positions (νsync ≈ 10^16 Hz, νIC ≈10^24 Hz, corresponding to ∼41 eV and∼13GeV) derived for the SED from 2008 (Acciari et al. 2009) and MAGIC observations presented in this paper are located at the same order of frequency.
New observations of a jet-emitting black hole show astonishing temperatures inside the jets of 10 trillion degrees Kelvin — a toasty 18 trillion degrees Fahrenheit. This new measurement shows that quasars can blow far past the theoretical temperature limit of 100 billion degrees Kelvin (179 billion degrees Fahrenheit), which has scientists puzzled.

For so long have we tried to produce/detect dark matter using bulky complex & relatively inefficient machines and whose energy requirements are exorbitant. But we already have naturally-occuring, gigantic (and powerful! ) particle accelerators scattered all over the cosmos - black holes.Since dark matter is subject to gravitational pull just like matter is, then it is highly probable that black holes are constantly crushing down not only normal matter but also dark matter, releasing the latter's mass energy and making a peak in the black hole jet's spectrum.
The prediction
Now, the Singular Primordial Preon Theory has predicted that Dark Matter would come in the form of particles whose mass are 13.4 GeV.
This prediction was based on the formula "SystemMass ((6-x)/3)*((Wm/4)-um)", where x is the number of preons in the system, Wm is the mass of the W boson and um is the mass of the up quark. In the case of dark matter, the SPP Theory predicts the system to hold 4 preons and so gives the formula the following value: ((6-4)/3)*((80.4/4)-0.0024) = 13.3984 GeV.
The release of this mass energy gives a very specific frequency signature, just like striking a tuning fork gives a very specific tone.
mass energy - frequency converter
To be exact, the frequency released by this predicted dark matter mass energy is 3.2 x 10^24 Hz (that's 3,200,000,000,000 trillion Hertz, or 3.2 YottaHertz).
The miracle peak
It turns out that the observed spectrum of black hole jets features a surprising peak - a peak whose frequency happens to match precisely that of the dark matter predicted by the SPP Theory. The spectrum shows an emission whose frequency is ~3.5 x 10^24 Hz - an astonishing 91% match with the prediction. The peak can be seen in the spectrum of quasar 3C66A:

Other instruments such as MAGIC are picking up the same specific signature of 3.2 YHz / 13 GeV.
The synchrotron and inverse Compton peak positions (νsync ≈ 10^16 Hz, νIC ≈10^24 Hz, corresponding to ∼41 eV and∼13GeV) derived for the SED from 2008 (Acciari et al. 2009) and MAGIC observations presented in this paper are located at the same order of frequency.

Science community taken by surprise
The origin of the peak came as a mystery to the scientific community, and they assumed that the cause was a process of electron cooling. However, this assumption was proven incomplete when in 2016 black hole jets were discovered to be defeating electron cooling.
New observations of a jet-emitting black hole show astonishing temperatures inside the jets of 10 trillion degrees Kelvin — a toasty 18 trillion degrees Fahrenheit. This new measurement shows that quasars can blow far past the theoretical temperature limit of 100 billion degrees Kelvin (179 billion degrees Fahrenheit), which has scientists puzzled.
Discovery News
Instead of electron cooling, it is quite possible that the observed 3.5 YHz / 13 GeV emission peak is actually caused by dark matter getting crushed in the accretion disk of the black hole, releasing its mass energy in the process.
conclusion
This could very well constitute an important discovery - for the first time ever we may be witnessing the very "resonance" of Dark Matter, the energy it emits as it gets torn apart by the force of black holes. Furthermore, the same peak is observed in various black holes from everywhere in the Universe, giving multiple confirmations of the discovery.
We live in exciting times!

good thread mate.
but imo negative on detection of dark matter.
dark matter is what gives mass to particles without reacting in anyway with the particle.
its only a matter of time when it will be accepted that dark matter is only electrons coupled with time residing in the time domain

Well there's also the fact that observations have a level of uncertainty. Notice that in the paper they observed the spectral peak to be located at about 3.5 x 10^24 Hz, whereas I predicted 3.2 x 10^24 Hz.
Same thing with the second paper I quote from. It says about 13 GeV, whereas I predicted 13.4 GeV.

After 20-month search period, a key dark matter detection experiment has officially come up empty-handed, casting doubt on the existence of weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPS), which have been far and away the leading explanation for one of the biggest mysteries in astrophysics.
Researchers examined a huge amount of data collected from the carefully calibrated device over the course of the 20-month experiment, which followed on the heels of a less-sensitive, three-month LUX search that ended in 2013, also with a negative result.
