Technical Proposal for the Atom Interferometer CERN Experiment (AICE) Facility

Gianluigi Arduini, Nadja Augst, Mark G. Bason +79

We present the technical proposal for the Atom Interferometer CERN Experiment (AICE), a m vertical atom interferometer to be installed against the wall of the PX…

Searching for screened scalar forces with long-baseline atom interferometers

Hannah Banks, John Carlton, Benjamin Elder +2

Screened scalars are ubiquitous in many dark-sector models. They give rise to non-trivial fifth forces whilst evading experimental constraints through density-dependent screening m…

Letter of Intent: AICE -- 100m Atom Interferometer Experiment at CERN

Charles Baynham, Andrea Bertoldi, Diego Blas +31

We propose an O(100)m Atom Interferometer (AI) experiment -- AICE -- to be installed against a wall of the PX46 access shaft to the LHC. This experiment would probe unexplored rang…

Massive graviton dark matter searches with long-baseline atom interferometers

Diego Blas, John Carlton, Christopher McCabe

Atom interferometers offer exceptional sensitivity to ultra-light dark matter (ULDM) by precisely measuring effects on atomic systems. Previous studies have demonstrated their capa…
