Search for dark matter Particles via Invisible Decays in Sc Nuclear Cascades with a CsI(Tl) Detector
Sharada Sahoo, Jing-han Chen, Mahdi Mirzakhani +3
Dark matter remains one of the most compelling open problems in modern physics, motivating experimental searches for new light, weakly coupled particles beyond the Standard Model.…
Particle Detection Using Magnetic Avalanches in Single-Molecule Magnet Crystals
Bailey Kohn, Hao Chen, Rupak Mahapatra +11
The detection of a single quantum of energy with high efficiency and a low false positive rate is of considerable scientific interest, from serving as single quantum sensors of opt…
Constraints on light QCD and CP-violating axions from the death line of rotation-powered pulsars
Samuel J. Witte, Andrea Caputo, Stefan Stelzl +3
For axions that couple to nucleons, the presence of dense nuclear matter can displace the axion from its vacuum minimum, sourcing large field gradients around neutron stars (and, m…
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…
