New experimental approaches in the search for axion-like particles
Axions and other very light axion-like particles appear in many extensions of the Standard
Model, and are leading candidates to compose part or all of the missing matter of the …

Dark photon limits: A handbook
The dark photon is a massive hypothetical particle that interacts with the Standard Model by
kinetically mixing with the visible photon. For small values of the mixing parameter, dark …

Refinement of the standard halo model for dark matter searches in light of the Gaia Sausage
Predicting signals in experiments to directly detect dark matter (DM) requires a form for the
local DM velocity distribution. Hitherto, the standard halo model (SHM), in which velocities …

Axion and hidden photon dark matter detection with multilayer optical haloscopes
A well-motivated class of dark matter candidates, including axions and dark photons, takes
the form of coherent oscillations of a light bosonic field. If the dark matter couples to standard …

Revealing the dark matter halo with axion direct detection
The next generation of axion direct-detection experiments may rule out or confirm axions as
the dominant source of dark matter. We develop a general likelihood-based framework for …

Early seeds of axion miniclusters
We study the small scale structure of axion dark matter in the post-inflationary scenario,
which predicts the formation of low-mass, high density clumps of gravitationally bound …
