An intriguing possibility for the nature of dark matter (DM) is to assume that DM consists of ultralight bosonic particles, which are present in various extensions of the Standard Model. These bosons may lead to unique quantum features on ∼ kpc scales, where they form solitons and possibly, vortex structures of a Bose-Einstein condensate. This leads to various astrophysical applications, which...

15. Testing Antimatter Couplings with (Matter-)Spectroscopy

Lucas Puetter (ITP, Heidelberg University)

Spectroscopic observables in atoms and highly charged ions are sensitive to new scalar-mediated potentials. A scalar with Lorentz-violating couplings allows for a split into "matter" and "antimatter" couplings, at least in the non-relativistic limit. Naively, this requires spectroscopy of both matter and antimatter to disentangle them. In this talk, I will show that relativistic corrections...
