Description
The IPPP hosts a workshop dedicated to emerging experimental approaches to searching for light dark matter, leveraging the step-change in quantum sensing technologies over the past decade.
Stringent constraints from direct detection experiments targeting weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) and challenges with small-scale structures in the universe have led to the exploration of alternative dark matter candidates beyond traditional WIMPs. Among the most promising is ultralight dark matter, whose detection through various tabletop experiments is increasingly important in the current era of precision science. These experiments involve expertise in particle, atomic, and condensed matter physics. The interaction between ultralight particles and standard model particles may give rise to macroscopic forces. Moreover, several equivalence principle tests provide complementary avenues for detecting these particles. This workshop will unite both theorists and experimentalists to delve into these topics, creating a platform to discuss cutting-edge trends and advancements in dark matter detection technologies.
