Black hole superradiance of self-interacting scalar fields
Masha Baryakhtar, Marios Galanis, Robert Lasenby +1
Black hole superradiance is a powerful probe of light, weakly-coupled hidden sector particles. Many candidate particles, such as axions, generically have self-interactions that can…
Searching for new physics with a levitated-sensor-based gravitational-wave detector
Nancy Aggarwal, George P. Winstone, Mae Teo +4
The Levitated Sensor Detector (LSD) is a compact resonant gravitational-wave (GW) detector based on optically trapped dielectric particles that is under construction. The LSD sensi…
Electromagnetic Signals of Inelastic Dark Matter Scattering
Masha Baryakhtar, Asher Berlin, Hongwan Liu +1
Light dark sectors in thermal contact with the Standard Model naturally produce the observed relic dark matter abundance and are the targets of a broad experimental search program.…
Characterizing the continuous gravitational-wave signal from boson clouds around Galactic isolated black holes
Sylvia J. Zhu, Masha Baryakhtar, Maria Alessandra Papa +3
Ultralight bosons can form large clouds around stellar-mass black holes via the superradiance instability. Through processes such as annihilation, these bosons can source continuou…
