Are the missing X-ray breaks in gamma-ray burst afterglow light curves merely hidden?

Gamma-ray burst (GRB) afterglow observations in the Swift era have a perceived lack ofachromatic jet breaks compared to the BeppoSAX or pre-Swift era. Specifically, relativelyfew breaks, consistent with jet breaks, are observed in the X-ray light curves of these bursts.If these breaks are truly miss...
