论文摘要

我们提出了一种通过调制精细结构常数和电子质量来搜索标量场超轻暗物质直接与重力波干涉仪相互作用的方法。该调节以由暗物质粒子的质量确定的频率诱导有效应变。我们通过使用名义上用于预稳定激光频率的固体腔来研究在Ligo探测器中寻找这种影响的前景,我们投影上限。我们将它们与GEO600的先前限制,Ligo Beamsplitter中类似菌株的可能限制以及即将进行的实验限制(如Lisa,Cosmic Explorer和升级的实心腔)的潜在限制相关化。 We find that with the sensitivity of Advanced LIGO, competitive upper limits on DM coupling can be placed at the level of $\left\vert d_{m_e}+d_e\right\vert \sim 0.2$ for $m_\text{DM} \sim 10^{-13}\,\mathrm{eV}/\mathrm{c}^2$使用实心腔和Ligo中的Beamsplitter组合两次搜索;未来的实验可以将此上限降低到$ \ sim10^{ - 3} $。

We present a method to search for scalar field ultralight dark matter directly interacting with gravitational-wave interferometers via a modulation of the fine structure constant and the electron mass. This modulation induces an effective strain in solid materials at a frequency determined by the mass of the dark matter particle. We study the prospects for looking for such an effect in the LIGO detectors by using the solid cavity which is nominally used for pre-stabilizing the laser frequency and we project upper limits. We contextualize them with previous limits from GEO600, possible limits from a similar strain in the LIGO beamsplitter, and with potential limits from upcoming experiments like LISA, Cosmic Explorer and from an upgraded solid cavity. We find that with the sensitivity of Advanced LIGO, competitive upper limits on DM coupling can be placed at the level of $\left\vert d_{m_e}+d_e\right\vert \sim 0.2$ for $m_\text{DM} \sim 10^{-13}\,\mathrm{eV}/\mathrm{c}^2$ with a combination of two searches using the solid cavity and the beamsplitter in LIGO; future experiments could reduce this upper limit to $\sim10^{-3}$.
