One-Electron Quantum Cyclotron as a Milli-eV Dark-Photon Detector

Kavli Affiliate: Peter W. Graham | First 5 Authors: Xing Fan, Gerald Gabrielse, Peter W. Graham, Roni Harnik, Thomas G. Myers | Summary: We propose using trapped electrons as high-$Q$ resonators for detecting meV dark photon dark matter. When the rest energy of the dark photon matches the energy splitting of the two lowest cyclotron […]
