First Results on the Search for Chameleons with the KWISP Detector at CAST

S. Arguedas Cuendis, J. Baier, K. Barth +50

We report on a first measurement with a sensitive opto-mechanical force sensor designed for the direct detection of coupling of real chameleons to matter. These dark energy candida…
