Searching for dark photon dark matter from terrestrial magnetic fields

Kimihiro Nomura, Atsushi Nishizawa, Atsushi Taruya +1

We present a novel search for dark photon dark matter (DM) using terrestrial magnetic field measurements at frequencies below 100 Hz. Coherently oscillating dark photon DM can indu…

Signature of axion dark matter in low-frequency terrestrial electromagnetic fields: formulation and predictions

Atsushi Taruya, Atsushi Nishizawa, Yoshiaki Himemoto

We develop a theoretical framework for axion dark matter (DM) searches using terrestrial electromagnetic (EM) fields, enabling a global and quantitative characterization of the sig…

Hunting axion dark matter signatures in low-frequency terrestrial magnetic fields

Atsushi Taruya, Atsushi Nishizawa, Yoshiaki Himemoto

We show that Earth's natural environment can serve as a powerful probe for ultralight axion dark matter. In the presence of global geomagnetic fields, the axions with masses rangin…

Decadal upgrade strategy for KAGRA toward post-O5 gravitational-wave astronomy

KAGRA Collaboration, T. Akutsu, M. Ando +150

The KAGRA Collaboration has investigated a ten-year upgrade strategy for the KAGRA gravitational wave detector, considering a total of 14 upgrade options that vary in mirror mass,…

Identification of Noise-Associated Glitches in KAGRA O3GK with Hveto

T. Akutsu, M. Ando, M. Aoumi +148

Transient noise ("glitches") in gravitational wave detectors can mimic or obscure true signals, significantly reducing detection sensitivity. Identifying and excluding glitch-conta…

Axion dark matter search from terrestrial magnetic fields at extremely low frequencies

Atsushi Nishizawa, Atsushi Taruya, Yoshiaki Himemoto

The natural environment of the Earth can act as a sensitive detector for dark matter in ultralight axions. When axions with masses between and $1\times1…
