15. Quantum Technologies for New-physics Discoveries

Marianna Safronova (U. of Delaware)

6/17/21, 8:20 AM

The extraordinary advances in quantum control of matter and light have been transformative for precision measurements enabling probes of the most basic laws of Nature to gain a fundamental understanding of the physical Universe. Exceptional versatility, inventiveness, and rapid development of precision experiments supported by continuous technological advances and improved atomic and molecular...

16. Some Recent Progress on Searches for Sub-GeV Dark Matter

Rouven Essig (YITP/Stony Brook U.)

6/17/21, 9:00 AM

I will discuss some recent theoretical and experimental progress in the search for dark matter with eV to GeV masses.

17. Dark sector visible signals in neutron star mergers

Gustavo Marques-Tavares (U. of Maryland)

6/17/21, 9:40 AM

In this talk I will present new ways to detect dark sectors through transient visible signals following a neutron star merger. Focusing on the dark photon scenario, I will show that the merger remnant can produce a very large flux of dark photons, and explore the visible signatures coming from their decays. The most promising signal is a bright and short burst of MeV photons produced by the...
