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…
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…
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…
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…
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: The landscape of low-threshold dark matter direct detection in the next decade
Rouven Essig, Graham K. Giovanetti, Noah Kurinsky +90
The search for particle-like dark matter with meV-to-GeV masses has developed rapidly in the past few years. We summarize the science case for these searches, the recent progress,…
Snowmass2021 Cosmic Frontier White Paper: Ultraheavy particle dark matter
Daniel Carney, Nirmal Raj, Yang Bai +25
We outline the unique opportunities and challenges in the search for "ultraheavy" dark matter candidates with masses between roughly and the Planck scale $m_{\rm pl}…
Ultra-Heavy Dark Matter Search with Electron Microscopy of Geological Quartz
Reza Ebadi, Anubhav Mathur, Erwin H. Tanin +8
Self-interactions within the dark sector could clump dark matter into heavy composite states with low number density, leading to a highly suppressed event rate in existing direct d…
