Dark Matter NMR and its sensitivity to extra couplings
Carl Beadle,
University of Toronto,
There is a substantial amount of evidence for the existence of dark matter. Ultralight dark photons and axions, with masses m < eV, are motivated extensions of the Standard Model and candidates for dark matter. In this talk I will give an introduction to how a dark matter NMR experiment like CASPEr-gradient is used to search for such dark matter axions through their coupling to nucleons. I will then argue that such an experiment has non-trivial sensitivity to both dark photons and the axion-photon coupling. I will explain how all three of these potential signals are distinguishable.
The talk is in 469 Lauritsen.
