Searching for scalar field dark matter with hyperfine transitions in alkali atoms
نویسندگان
چکیده
Fundamental constants such as masses and coupling of elementary particles can have small temporal spatial variations in the scalar field dark-matter model. These entail time oscillations other constants, Bohr nuclear magnetons, radius, hyperfine structure constant. In presence an external magnetic field, these induce transitions atoms molecules. We determine probability dipole transitions, caused by oscillating fundamental propose experiment that could detect dark matter through this effect. This may be sensitive to axion with mass range $1\text{ }\text{ }\mathit{\ensuremath{\mu}}\mathrm{eV}<m<100\text{ }\mathit{\ensuremath{\mu}}\mathrm{eV}$.

Singlet scalar dark matter in noncommutative space
In this paper, we examine the singlet scalar dark matter annihilation to becoming the Standard Model particles in the non-commutative space. In the recent decades, many candidates of dark matter have been offered, but our information about the nature of dark matter is still limited. There are such particle candidates as scalar matetr, fermion, boson, gauge boson, etc.; however, they have nei...
متن کاملUnifying Dark Energy and Dark Matter with a Scalar Field
The standard model of cosmology considers the existence of two components of unknown nature, “dark matter” and “dark energy”, which determine the cosmological evolution. Their nature remains unknown, and other models can also be considered. In particular, it may be possible to reinterpret the recent cosmological observations so that the Universe does not contain two fluids of unknown natures, b...

متن کاملScalar Field Dark Matter and Galaxy Formation
We present a general description of the scalar field dark matter (SFDM) hypothesis in the cosmological context. The scenario of structure formation under such a hypothesis is based on Jeans instabilities of fluctuations of the scalar field. It is shown that it is possible to form stable long lived objects consisting of a wide range of typical galactic masses around 1012M⊙ once the parameters of...
متن کاملSearching for Dark Matter
The observational evidence for dark matter on progressively larger cosmic scales is reviewed in a rather pedagogical fashion. Although the emphasis is on dark matter in galaxies and in clusters of galaxies, its cosmological evidence as well as its physical nature are also discussed.
