Constraining Ultralight Scalars with Black Hole Binary Mergers in Galactic Nuclei
Majed Khalaf, Eric Kuflik, Alessandro Lenoci +2
Ultralight scalars can form long-lived, macroscopic bound states around spinning black holes, known as superradiance clouds. These clouds provide an additional channel for energy d…
Minimal Proton-Mass Dark Matter
Majed Khalaf, Eric Kuflik, Alessandro Lenoci +2
We present a minimal dark matter scenario: a single complex scalar carrying baryon and lepton number, with no new exact stabilizing symmetry. Its leading interaction is a dimension…
Probing Dark Matter-Electron Interactions with Superconducting Qubits
Yonit Hochberg, Majed Khalaf, Noah Kurinsky +2
Quantum device measurements are powerful tools to probe dark matter interactions. Among these, transmon qubits stand out for their ability to suppress external noise while remainin…
Determining (All) Dark Matter-Electron Scattering Rates From Material Properties
Yonit Hochberg, Majed Khalaf, Alessandro Lenoci +1
We show that the scattering rate for any dark matter (DM) interaction with electrons in any target is proportional to several measurable material properties, encapsulated by a sing…
Boson Cloud Atlas: Direct mass measurements of superradiance clouds near black holes
Majed Khalaf, Eric Kuflik, Alessandro Lenoci +1
Ultralight scalars emerge naturally in several motivated particle physics scenarios and are viable candidates for dark matter. While laboratory detection of such bosons is challeng…
