Future directions in nuclear decay at FRIB and beyond
Garrett B. King, Ayala Glick-Magid, Grigor Sargsyan +38
Motivated by the opportunities presented for studies relevant to nuclear structure, astrophysics, and fundamental symmetries with nuclear decay, the Facility for Rare Isotope…

Dark Matter Detection Using Phonon Sensing in Amorphous Materials
Itay M. Bloch, Simon Knapen, Xinran Li +2
We present a concept for a tabletop-scale detector with an amorphous target designed to search for dark matter absorption into phonon excitations. In crystalline materials, absorpt…

Broadband phonon production from axion absorption
Itay M. Bloch, Simon Knapen, Amalia Madden +1
We show that axion dark matter in the range meV 100 meV can incoherently excite phonons in crystal targets with unpolarised nuclear spins. This can occur thr…
