Optimization of the Repumping Parameters for a Sodium Laser Guide Star Magnetometer

Yucheng Yang, Chunyang Lei, Kai Guo +1

A sodium laser guide star operated as a mesospheric magnetometer modulates a 589 nm laser at the local Larmor frequency and usually diverts a fraction of its power to a repumping l…

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…

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…

All-Optical Single-Species Cesium Atomic Comagnetometer with Optical Free Induction Decay Detection

Yucheng Yang, Teng Wu, Jingbiao Chen +2

Atomic comagnetometers, which measure the spin precession frequencies of overlapped species simultaneously, are widely applied to search for exotic spin-dependent interactions. Her…
