Kavli Affiliate: T. A. Shutt | Summary:We report here the results of an Effective Field Theory (EFT) WIMP search analysis using LUX data. We build upon previous LUX analyses by extending the search window to include nuclear recoil energies up to $sim$180 keV$_nr$, requiring a reassessment of data quality cuts and background models. In order […]

Kavli Affiliate: Giorgio Gratta | Summary:We report on a search for non-Newtonian forces that couple to mass, with a characteristic scale of $sim10~μ$m, using an optically levitated microsphere as a precision force sensor. A silica microsphere trapped in an upward-propagating, single-beam, optical tweezer is utilized to probe for interactions sourced from a nanofabricated attractor mass […]
