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…

A Multi-Messenger Search for Exotic Field Emission with a Global Magnetometer Network

Sami S. Khamis, Ibrahim A. Sulai, Paul Hamilton +38

Quantum sensor networks in combination with traditional astronomical observations are emerging as a novel modality for multi-messenger astronomy. Here we develop a generic analysis…

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…

Intensity interferometry for ultralight bosonic dark matter detection

Hector Masia-Roig, Nataniel L. Figueroa, Ariday Bordon +12

Ultralight bosonic dark matter (UBDM) can be described by a classical wave-like field oscillating near the Compton frequency of the bosons. If a measurement scheme for the direct d…

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…

Characterization of the Global Network of Optical Magnetometers to search for Exotic Physics (GNOME)

S. Afach, D. Budker, G. DeCamp +21

The Global Network of Optical Magnetometers to search for Exotic physics (GNOME) is a network of geographically separated, time-synchronized, optically pumped atomic magnetometers…
