Searching for heavy charged relics in the Earth
Reza Ebadi, Peter W. Graham, Surjeet Rajendran +2
We propose a method for detecting an ambient density of heavy, electrically-charged particles. Such particles would impact the Earth, lose energy in terrestrial matter, and become…
Refined Sensitivity Estimates for Single-Molecule Magnet Dark Matter Detectors
Andrew Eberhardt, Tomoya Fukui, Ryosuke Takehara +8
We revisit the sensitivity of Single Molecule Magnet (SMM) crystals as detectors for low-mass dark matter. In previous work, we established the concept of the ``magnetic bubble cha…
GALILEO: Galactic Axion Laser Interferometer Leveraging Electro-Optics
Reza Ebadi, David E. Kaplan, Surjeet Rajendran +1
We propose a novel experimental method for probing light dark matter candidates. We show that an electro-optical material's refractive index is modified in the presence of a cohere…
Melting LHC detectors: a novel search for stopped long-lived particles
Julia L. Gonski, Peter W. Graham, Surjeet Rajendran +2
Particles at the TeV scale with lifetimes of a year or longer could have been abundantly produced at the LHC yet escaped detection because of backgrounds, and could still be trappe…
A Precision Gyroscope from the Helicity of Light
Michael A. Fedderke, Roni Harnik, David E. Kaplan +4
We describe a gyroscope that measures rotation based on the effects of the rotation on the polarization of light. Rotation induces a differential phase shift in the propagation of…
Probing Long-Range Forces Between Neutrinos with Cosmic Structures
David E. Kaplan, Xuheng Luo, Surjeet Rajendran
We study the consequences of new long-range forces between neutrinos on cosmic scales. If these forces are a few orders of magnitude stronger than gravity, they can induce perturba…
