Scalable Dark Matter Searches Using Integrated Photonics
Nikita Blinov, Christina Gao, Roni Harnik +2
Dark matter (DM) with masses of order an electronvolt or below can have a non-zero coupling to electromagnetism while being compatible with cosmological observations. In these mode…
Light Shining Through a Thin Wall: Evanescent Hidden Photon Detection
Asher Berlin, Roni Harnik, Ryan Janish
A kinetically-mixed hidden photon is sourced as an evanescent mode by electromagnetic fields that oscillate at a frequency smaller than the hidden photon mass. These evanescent mod…
Searches for New Particles, Dark Matter, and Gravitational Waves with SRF Cavities
Asher Berlin, Sergey Belomestnykh, Diego Blas +33
This is a Snowmass white paper on the utility of existing and future superconducting cavities to probe fundamental physics. Superconducting radio frequency (SRF) cavity technology…
Muon g-2 and EDM experiments as muonic dark matter detectors
Ryan Janish, Harikrishnan Ramani
The detection of ultralight dark matter through interactions with nucleons, electrons, and photons has been explored in depth. In this work we propose to use precision muon experim…
Type Ia supernovae from dark matter core collapse
Ryan Janish, Vijay Narayan, Paul Riggins
Dark matter (DM) which sufficiently heats a local region in a white dwarf will trigger runaway fusion, igniting a type Ia supernova (SN). In a companion paper, this instability was…
Axion production and detection with superconducting RF cavities
Ryan Janish, Vijay Narayan, Surjeet Rajendran +1
We propose a novel design of a laboratory search for axions based on photon regeneration with superconducting RF cavities. Our particular setup uses a toroid as a region of confine…
White Dwarfs as Dark Matter Detectors
Peter Graham, Ryan Janish, Vijay Narayan +2
Dark matter that is capable of sufficiently heating a local region in a white dwarf will trigger runaway fusion and ignite a type Ia supernova. This was originally proposed in Grah…
The MASSIVE Survey - V. Spatially-Resolved Stellar Angular Momentum, Velocity Dispersion, and Higher Moments of the 41 Most Massive Local Early-Type Galaxies
Melanie Veale, Chung-Pei Ma, Jens Thomas +6
We present spatially-resolved two-dimensional stellar kinematics for the 41 most massive early-type galaxies (MK <~ -25.7 mag, stellar mass M* >~ 10^11.8 Msun) of the volume-limite…
A 17-billion-solar-mass black hole in a group galaxy with a diffuse core
Jens Thomas, Chung-Pei Ma, Nicholas J. McConnell +3
Quasars are associated with and powered by the accretion of material onto massive black holes; the detection of highly luminous quasars with redshifts greater than z = 6 suggests t…
The MASSIVE Survey II: Stellar Population Trends Out to Large Radius in Massive Early Type Galaxies
Jenny E. Greene, Ryan Janish, Chung-Pei Ma +4
We examine stellar population gradients in ~100 massive early type galaxies spanning 180 < sigma* < 370 km/s and M_K of -22.5 to -26.5 mag, observed as part of the MASSIVE survey (…
The MASSIVE Survey - I. A Volume-Limited Integral-Field Spectroscopic Study of the Most Massive Early-Type Galaxies within 108 Mpc
Chung-Pei Ma, Jenny E. Greene, Nicholas McConnell +4
Massive early-type galaxies represent the modern-day remnants of the earliest major star formation episodes in the history of the universe. These galaxies are central to our unders…
