Abstract:
Ultra-low-mass bosonic particles produced non-thermally in the early Universe may form a coherently oscillating classical field that can comprise the observed cold dark matter. The very high number density of such particles can give rise to characteristic wave-like signatures that are distinct from the particle-like signatures considered in more traditional searches for WIMP dark matter. In particular, ultra-low-mass scalar dark matter may induce apparent variations of the fundamental “constants” of Nature, while ultra-low-mass pseudoscalar (axionlike) dark matter may induce time-varying spin-precession effects (including oscillating electric dipole moments). I discuss the basic principles of and recent results in searches for ultra-low-mass dark matter using a variety of precision low-energy experiments, including atomic spectroscopy, optical cavities and interferometers, torsion pendula, magnetometry, neutron experiments and g-factor measurements.
