Search for a solar-bound axion halo using the Global Network of Optical Magnetometers for Exotic physics searches
Tatum Z. Wilson, Derek F. Jackson Kimball, Samer Afach +50
We report on a search for a gravitationally bound solar axion halo using data from the Global Network of Optical Magnetometers for Exotic physics searches (GNOME), a worldwide arra…
Phase projection errors in rf-driven optically pumped magnetometers
Zoran D. Grujić, Marija Ćurĉić, Aleksandra Kocić +2
We investigate the phase relationship between the oscillating (rf) excitation field and the detected (light) power modulation in scalar rf-driven optically pumped magnetometers (OP…
Optically pumped vector magnetometer using a strong bias magnetic field
Thomas Schönau, Theo Scholtes, Florian Wittkämper +4
We present a novel approach allowing an optically pumped magnetometer (OPM) to be operated within Earth's magnetic field as a vector magnetometer whose sensitive axis can be freely…
A Multi-Messenger Search for Exotic Field Emission with a Global Magnetometer Network
Sami S. Khamis, Ibrahim A. Sulai, Paul Hamilton +38
Quantum sensor networks in combination with traditional astronomical observations are emerging as a novel modality for multi-messenger astronomy. Here we develop a generic analysis…
What can a GNOME do? Search targets for the Global Network of Optical Magnetometers for Exotic physics searches
S. Afach, D. Aybas Tumturk, H. Bekker +50
Numerous observations suggest that there exist undiscovered beyond-the-Standard-Model particles and fields. Because of their unknown nature, these exotic particles and fields could…
Search for topological defect dark matter with a global network of optical magnetometers
Samer Afach, Ben C. Buchler, Dmitry Budker +46
Ultralight bosons such as axion-like particles are viable candidates for dark matter. They can form stable, macroscopic field configurations in the form of topological defects that…
Integrated optically pumped magnetometer for measurements within Earth's magnetic field
G. Oelsner, R. IJsselsteijn, T. Scholtes +7
We present a portable optically pumped magnetometer instrument for ultra-sensitive measurements within the Earth's magnetic field. The central part of the system is a sensor head o…
Analysis method for detecting topological defect dark matter with a global magnetometer network
Hector Masia-Roig, Joseph A. Smiga, Dmitry Budker +15
The Global Network of Optical Magnetometers for Exotic physics searches (GNOME) is a network of time-synchronized, geographically separated, optically pumped atomic magnetometers t…
Characterization of the Global Network of Optical Magnetometers to search for Exotic Physics (GNOME)
S. Afach, D. Budker, G. DeCamp +21
The Global Network of Optical Magnetometers to search for Exotic physics (GNOME) is a network of geographically separated, time-synchronized, optically pumped atomic magnetometers…
Searching for axion stars and Q-balls with a terrestrial magnetometer network
D. F. Jackson Kimball, D. Budker, J. Eby +6
Light (pseudo-)scalar fields are promising candidates to be the dark matter in the Universe. Under certain initial conditions in the early Universe and/or with certain types of sel…
Dichroic atomic vapor laser lock with multi-gigahertz stabilization range
S. Pustelny, V. Schultze, T. Scholtes +1
A dichroic atomic vapor laser lock (DAVLL) system exploiting buffer-gas-filled millimeter-scale vapor cells is presented. This system offers similar stability as achievable with co…
