Mendeleev's introduction of the periodic table of elements is one of the most important milestones in the history of chemistry, as it brought order into the known chemical and …
The last decade has seen unprecedented effort in dark matter model building at all mass scales coupled with the design of numerous new detection strategies. Transformative …
Dark matter may induce apparent temporal variations in the physical “constants”, including the electromagnetic fine-structure constant and fermion masses. In particular, a coherently …
We review the progress in atomic structure theory with a focus on superheavy elements and their predicted ground state configurations important for an element's placement in the …
We present a way to search for light scalar dark matter (DM), seeking to exploit putative coupling between dark matter scalar fields and fundamental constants, by searching for …
Atomic spectroscopy is used to search for the space-time variation of fundamental constants which may be due to an interaction with scalar and pseudoscalar (axion) dark matter. In this …
The amplitude of the pseudoscalar (axion) or scalar field fluctuates on a timescale of order of a million field oscillation periods which is a typical coherence time in the virialized axion …
Fundamental constants are a cornerstone of the physical laws. Any constant varying in space and/or time would signal a violation of local position invariance and be associated …
In this work, we propose polarimetry experiments to search for low-mass (sub-eV) bosonic field dark matter, including axions and axionlike particles. We show that a polarimetry …
