From RATs to riches: mitigating anthropogenic and synanthropic noise in atom interferometer searches for ultra-light dark matter
John Carlton, Christopher McCabe
Atom interferometers offer promising new avenues for detecting ultra-light dark matter (ULDM). The exceptional sensitivity of atom interferometers to fluctuations in the local grav…
Refined ultralight scalar dark matter searches with compact atom gradiometers
Leonardo Badurina, Diego Blas, Christopher McCabe
Atom interferometry is a powerful experimental technique that can be employed to search for the oscillation of atomic transition energies induced by ultralight scalar dark matter (…
AION: An Atom Interferometer Observatory and Network
L. Badurina, E. Bentine, D. Blas +38
We outline the experimental concept and key scientific capabilities of AION (Atom Interferometer Observatory and Network), a proposed UK-based experimental programme using cold str…
A Dark Matter Hurricane: Measuring the S1 Stream with Dark Matter Detectors
Ciaran A. J. O'Hare, Christopher McCabe, N. Wyn Evans +2
The recently discovered S1 stream passes through the Solar neighbourhood on a low inclination, counter-rotating orbit. The progenitor of S1 is a dwarf galaxy with a total mass comp…
Ruling out the light WIMP explanation of the galactic 511 keV line
Ryan J. Wilkinson, Aaron C. Vincent, Celine Boehm +1
Over the past few decades, an anomalous 511 keV gamma-ray line has been observed from the centre of the Milky Way. Dark matter (DM) in the form of light weakly interacting massive…
The Earth's velocity for direct detection experiments
Christopher McCabe
The Earth's velocity relative to the Sun in galactic coordinates is required in the rate calculation for direct detection experiments. We provide a rigorous derivation of this quan…
