Low Frequency Gravitational Wave Detection with Gravito-Magnetism
Reza Ebadi, Surjeet Rajendran
The detection of gravitational waves in the low-frequency band (10 nHz to 1 micro-Hz) using inner solar system proof masses is severely limited by Newtonian gravity gradient noise…
Mineral Detection of Neutrinos and Dark Matter 2026 Proceedings
Alexey Elykov, Patrick Stengel, Natsue Abe +81
The fourth "Mineral Detection of Neutrinos and Dark Matter" (MDvDM'26) meeting was held April 14-17, 2026 in Karlsruhe, Germany, hosted by the Institute for Astroparticle Physics (…
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…
Measuring Pulsar Distances from Chirping Orbital Periods
Brady Egleston, Reza Ebadi, Ronald Walsworth
The observed orbital period time derivative (or orbital "chirp") of a millisecond binary pulsar (MSP) encodes information about both the intrinsic properties of the binary system a…
Rydberg Single Photon Detection for Probing 0.1-10 meV Dark Matter with BREAD
Abhishek Banerjee, Reza Ebadi, Surjeet Rajendran
We introduce a Rydberg-based single photon detector (SPD) for probing dark matter in the 0.1-10 meV mass range (20 GHz-2 THz). The Rydberg SPD absorbs photons produced and focused…
Mineral Detection of Neutrinos and Dark Matter 2025 Proceedings
Shigenobu Hirose, Patrick Stengel, Natsue Abe +70
The third ``Mineral Detection of Neutrinos and Dark Matter'' (MDDM'25) meeting was held May 20-23, 2025 in Yokohama, Japan, hosted by the Yokohama Institute for Earth Sciences,…
Gravothermal Pile-Up of Collisional Dark Matter Around Compact Objects
Reza Ebadi, Erwin H. Tanin
The dark matter may consist of multiple species that interact differently. We show that a species that is cosmologically subdominant but highly collisional can pile up and become d…
Mineral Detection of Neutrinos and Dark Matter 2024. Proceedings
Sebastian Baum, Patrick Huber, Patrick Stengel +57
The second "Mineral Detection of Neutrinos and Dark Matter" (MDvDM'24) meeting was held January 8-11, 2024 in Arlington, VA, USA, hosted by Virginia Tech's Center for Neutrino Phys…
LISA double white dwarf binaries as Galactic accelerometers
Reza Ebadi, Vladimir Strokov, Erwin H. Tanin +2
Galactic double white dwarf (DWD) binaries are among the guaranteed sources for the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA), an upcoming space-based gravitational wave (GW) detec…
Fingerprints of a Non-Inflationary Universe from Massive Fields
Jerome Quintin, Xingang Chen, Reza Ebadi
We construct explicit models of classical primordial standard clocks in an alternative to inflation, namely the slowly contracting ekpyrotic scenario. We study the phenomenology of…
Diamond Micro-Chip for Quantum Microscopy
Shahidul Asif, Hang Chen, Johannes Cremer +11
The nitrogen vacancy (NV) center in diamond is an increasingly popular quantum sensor for microscopy of electrical current, magnetization, and spins. However, efficient NV-sample i…
Gravitational Waves from Stochastic Scalar Fluctuations
Reza Ebadi, Soubhik Kumar, Amara McCune +2
We present a novel mechanism for gravitational wave generation in the early Universe. Light spectator scalar fields during inflation can acquire a blue-tilted power spectrum due to…
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…
Spectral distortions of astrophysical blackbodies as axion probes
Jae Hyeok Chang, Reza Ebadi, Xuheng Luo +1
Recent studies reveal that more than a dozen of white dwarfs displaying near-perfect blackbody spectra in the optical range have been lurking in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey catalo…
Mineral Detection of Neutrinos and Dark Matter. A Whitepaper
Sebastian Baum, Patrick Stengel, Natsue Abe +66
Minerals are solid state nuclear track detectors - nuclear recoils in a mineral leave latent damage to the crystal structure. Depending on the mineral and its temperature, the dama…
Classical Cosmological Collider Physics and Primordial Features
Xingang Chen, Reza Ebadi, Soubhik Kumar
Features in the inflationary landscape can inject extra energies to inflation models and produce on-shell particles with masses much larger than the Hubble scale of inflation. This…
Snowmass2021 Cosmic Frontier Dark Matter Direct Detection to the Neutrino Fog
