  • Resonant Electric Probe to Axionic Dark Matter

    分类: 天文学 >> 天文学 提交时间: 2023-02-19

    摘要: The oscillating light axion field is known as wave dark matter. We propose an LC-resonance enhanced detection of the narrow band electric signals induced by the axion dark matter using a solenoid magnet facility. We provide full 3D electromagnetic simulation results for the signal electric field. The electric signal is enhanced by the high $Q$-factor of a resonant LC circuit and then amplified and detected by the state-of-the-art cryogenic electrical transport measurement technique. The amplifier noise is the leading noise in the setup. We demonstrate that the setup has promising sensitivity for axionic dark matter with mass $m_a$ below $10^{-6}$ eV. The projected sensitivities increase with the size of the magnetic field, and the electric signal measurement can be potentially sensitive to the QCD axion with $g_{a\gamma} \sim 10^{-16}$ GeV$^{-1}$ with a multi-meter scale magnetized region.

  • Gravitational Waves and Possible Fast Radio Bursts from Axion Clumps

    摘要: The axion objects such as axion mini-clusters and axion clouds around spinning black holes induce parametric resonances of electromagnetic waves through the axion-photon interaction. In particular, it has been known that the resonances from the axion with the mass around $10^{-6}$eV may explain the observed fast radio bursts (FRBs). Here we argue that similar bursts of high frequency gravitational waves, which we call the fast gravitational wave bursts (FGBs), are generated from axion clumps with the presence of gravitational Chern-Simons (CS) coupling. The typical frequency is half of the axion mass, which in general can range from kHz to GHz. We also discuss the secondary gravitational wave production associated with FRB, as well as the possible host objects of the axion clouds, such as primordial black holes with typical masses around $10^{-5}M_{\odot}$. Future detections of FGBs together with the observed FRBs are expected to provide more evidence for the axion.

  • Pulsar Timing Residual induced by Wideband Ultralight Dark Matter with Spin 0, 1, 2

    摘要: The coherent oscillation of ultralight dark matter in the mass regime around $10^{-23}$ eV induces changes in gravitational potential with the frequency in the nanohertz range. This effect is known to produce a monochromatic signal in the pulsar timing residuals. Here we discuss a multifield scenario that produces a wide spectrum of frequencies, such that the ultralight particle oscillation can mimic the pulsar timing signal of stochastic common spectrum process. We discuss how ultralight dark matter with various spins produces such a wide band spectrum on pulsar timing residuals and perform the Bayesian analysis to constrain the parameters. It turns out that the stochastic background detected by NANOGrav can be associated with a wideband ultralight dark matter.
