WISPLC is a direct Dark Matter detection experiment located in Hamburg, Germany, looking for Weak-interacting sub-eV particles in a previously unexplored parameter space between 10-11 and 10-6 eV, using the lumped element technique. This consists of a pickup loop capturing the induced flux of converted axion-like particles in the presence of an externally applied magnetic field with the signal...
A collaboration between CNRS-Grenoble and IBS-CAPP Daejeon plans to build a Sikivie’s type haloscope for axion/ALPs dark matter search at the Dine-Fischler-Srednicki-Zhitnitskii (DFSZ) sensitivity for the 300-600 MHz range. It will be based on the large bore superconducting magnet of LNCMI Grenoble providing a central magnetic field up to 9 T in 810 mm warm bore diameter. This magnet has been...
In this talk I want to discuss the (unorthodox) scenario when the baryogenesis is replaced by a charge separation process in which the global baryon number of the Universe remains zero. In this, the so-called axion quark nugget (AQN) dark matter model the unobserved antibaryons come to comprise the dark matter in the form of nuclear density nuggets. I specifically focus on several recent...
Single-photon readout is a compelling technique for the next generation of dark matter haloscope experiments; it would entirely eliminate the quantum measurement noise seen in linear amplifier readout. The Rydberg/Axions at Yale (RAY) collaboration is developing single-photon detectors based on Rydberg atoms, highly-excited atomic states with exquisite sensitivity to electric fields. These...
The DarkSide-20k detector is currently under construction at the LNGS laboratory in Italy and is a crucial part of the Global Argon Dark Matter Collaboration’s (GADMC) plan to probe the dark-matter parameter space down and into the neutrino fog. DarkSide-20k is a two-phase Time Projection Chamber with low-radioactivity acrylic walls and optical readout using Silicon Photomultipliers (SiPMs)....
Superconducting Transition Edge Sensors (TESs) are a promising technology for fundamental physics applications due to their low dark-count rates, good energy resolution, and high detection efficiency. On the DESY campus, we have been developing a program to characterize quantum sensors for fundamental physics applications, particularly focused on TESs. We currently have one fully equipped...
The Dark photons & Axion-Like particles Interferometer (DALI) proposes a new experimental setup to detect wavy dark matter: the magnetized phased array (MPA). In the MPA haloscope, a large flat mirror is housed in a solenoid-type magnet. The data acquired by each of the antennas forming the MPA are combined by post-processing similar to radio interferometry. A resonator can also be magnetized...
