AtomQT is coorganizing a workshop on Atomic Experiments for Dark Matter and Gravity Exploration that will take place in CERN from 22nd – 23rd July 2019.
The purpose of this informal workshop is to review the landscape of cold atom technologies being developed to explore of dark sector physics – especially light dark matter, gravitational effects – particularly gravitational waves in the mid-frequency band, and searches for new fundamental interactions – which offer several options for ground-breaking discoveries.
The Workshop will focus on the physics opportunities and connections between the fundamental research areas of particle physics and gravitational physics using technologies based on cold atom expertise. In this context, we will review several terrestrial atom interferometer projects to demonstrate the capabilities of different technologies, which are under construction, planned or proposed.
