Searching for Scalar Ultralight Dark Matter with Optical Fibers

J. Manley, R. Stump, R. Petery +1

We consider optical fibers as detectors for scalar ultralight dark matter (UDM) and propose using a fiber-based interferometer to search for scalar UDM with particle mass in the ra…

New Horizons: Scalar and Vector Ultralight Dark Matter

D. Antypas, A. Banerjee, C. Bartram +123

The last decade has seen unprecedented effort in dark matter model building at all mass scales coupled with the design of numerous new detection strategies. Transformative advances…

Searching for Chameleon Dark Energy with Mechanical Systems

J. Betz, J. Manley, E. M. Wright +2

A light scalar field framework of dark energy, sometimes referred to as quintessence, introduces a fifth force between normal matter objects. Screening mechanisms, such as the cham…

Prototype Superfluid Gravitational Wave Detector

V. Vadakkumbatt, M. Hirschel, J. Manley +3

We study a cross-shaped cavity filled with superfluid He as a prototype resonant-mass gravitational wave detector. Using a membrane and a re-entrant microwave cavity as a sensi…

Mechanical Quantum Sensing in the Search for Dark Matter

Daniel Carney, Gordan Krnjaic, David C. Moore +32

Numerous astrophysical and cosmological observations are best explained by the existence of dark matter, a mass density which interacts only very weakly with visible, baryonic matt…

Searching for vector dark matter with an optomechanical accelerometer

Jack Manley, Mitul Dey Chowdhury, Daniel Grin +2

We consider using optomechanical accelerometers as resonant detectors for ultralight dark matter. As a concrete example, we describe a detector based on a silicon nitride membrane…

Searching for scalar dark matter with compact mechanical resonators

Jack Manley, Russell Stump, Dalziel Wilson +2

We explore the viability of laboratory-scale mechanical resonators as detectors for ultralight scalar dark matter. The signal we investigate is an atomic strain due to modulation o…
