Description

This talk will explore how exciting gravitational-wave interferometers can serve as powerful probes of new physics. For ultralight dark matter candidates, I will demonstrate how the similar search strategy enables the direct detection of multiple candidates, including dark photons, axions, and dilatons. These analyses illustrate how these newly developed GW frontiers can be repurposed as powerful discovery tools for new physics, their sensitivities can well exceed other experiments to probe unexplored parameter space.
