Observations spanning multiple astronomical scales point to the existence of an unknown form of matter, dubbed “dark matter”, that constitutes over 85% of the mass of most galaxies. Recent theoretical insights into the possible nature of dark matter and how it interacts with normal matter have inspired a wide range of experimental efforts aimed at directly detecting dark matter. As part of this effort, Professor John P. Davis's group at the University of Alberta is developing a small-scale experiment to search for multiple well-motivated “ultralight” dark matter candidates, placing stronger bounds than are currently possible with high-cost and/or large-scale efforts. The core enabling technology relies on microwave cavity readout of mechanical motion in superfluid helium. He will describe the experiments that have led up to where they are now, and their current efforts with regards to this table-top dark matter search.
