Led by Ming-Yang Cui of Nanjing University, the Chinese team used boron-decay-into-carbon and Bayesian Analysis to analyze the cosmic ray data from the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS-02) to conclude that Dark Matter has a rest mass of 20-80 GeV.
In an independent analysis, a German team used computer simulations to analyze the AMS-02 cosmic ray data to conclude that Dark Matter has a rest mass of 80 GeV.
The results are preliminary. If it holds up then Dark Matter is a WIMP (ie. weakly interacting massive particle) with a rest mass of 20-80 GeV.
