Applying the matched-filter technique to the search for dark matter transients with networks of quantum sensors

Guglielmo Panelli, Benjamin M. Roberts, Andrei Derevianko

There are several networks of precision quantum sensors in existence, including networks of atomic clocks, magnetometers, and gravitational wave detectors. These networks can be re…

Search for transient variations of the fine structure constant and dark matter using fiber-linked optical atomic clocks

B. M. Roberts, P. Delva, A. Al-Masoudi +51

We search for transient variations of the fine structure constant using data from a European network of fiber-linked optical atomic clocks. By searching for coherent variations in…

Violation of the equivalence principle from light scalar fields: from Dark Matter candidates to scalarized black holes

A. Hees, O. Minazzoli, E. Savalle +3

Tensor-scalar theory is a wide class of alternative theory of gravitation that can be motivated by higher dimensional theories, by models of dark matter or dark ernergy. In the gen…

Electron-interacting dark matter: Implications from DAMA/LIBRA-phase2 and prospects for liquid xenon detectors and NaI detectors

B. M. Roberts, V. V. Flambaum

We investigate the possibility for the direct detection of low mass (GeV scale) WIMP dark matter in scintillation experiments. Such WIMPs are typically too light to leave appreciab…

Novel approaches to dark-matter detection using space-time separated clocks

Etienne Savalle, Benjamin M. Roberts, Florian Frank +5

We discuss the theoretical analysis and interpretation of space-time separated clock experiments in the context of a space-time varying scalar field that is non-universally coupled…

Magnetic Monopole Noise

Ritika Dusad, Franziska K. K. Kirschner, Jesse C. Hoke +6

Magnetic monopoles are hypothetical elementary particles exhibiting quantized magnetic charge and quantized magnetic flux . A classic proposal for de…
