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…
Long-Baseline Atom Interferometry
Antun Balaz, Diego Blas, Oliver Buchmueller +50
Long-baseline atom interferometry is a promising technique for probing various aspects of fundamental physics, astrophysics and cosmology, including searches for ultralight dark ma…
Clear skies ahead: characterizing atmospheric gravity gradient noise for vertical atom interferometers
John Carlton, Valerie Gibson, Tim Kovachy +2
Terrestrial long-baseline atom interferometer experiments are emerging as powerful tools for probing new fundamental physics, including searches for dark matter and gravitational w…
