The Global Network of Optical Magnetometers for Exotic physics searches (GNOME) is a network of time-synchronized, geographically separated, optically pumped atomic magnetometers that is being used to search for correlated transient signals heralding exotic physics. GNOME is sensitive to exotic couplings of atomic spins to certain classes of dark matter candidates, such as axions. This work...

Imaging magnetic nanoparticle distributions by atomic magnetometry-based susceptometry

Colombo, Simone ; Lebedev, Victor ; Tonyushkin, Alexey ; Pengue, Simone ; Weis, Antoine

In: IEEE Transactions on Medical Imaging, 2020, vol. 39, no. 4, p. 922–933

We introduce a Magnetic Particle Imaging Susceptometer (MPIS) that uses a high- sensitivity atomic magnetometer (AM) for recording the spatial distribution of fluid- suspended magnetic nanoparticles. We have evaluated the MPIS performance by one-dimensional scans of structured nanoparticle phantoms, demonstrating, in particular, resolutions of ≈2.5 mm prior to deconvolution and ≪1 mm after ...

Magnetic-field uniformity is of the utmost importance in experiments to measure the electric dipole moment of the neutron. A general parametrization of the magnetic field in terms of harmonic polynomial modes is proposed, going beyond the linear- gradients approximation. We review the main undesirable effects of nonuniformities: depolarization of ultracold neutrons and Larmor frequency shifts...

The Global Network of Optical Magnetometers to search for Exotic physics (GNOME) is a network of geographically separated, time-synchronized, optically pumped atomic magnetometers that is being used to search for correlated transient signals heralding exotic physics. The GNOME is sensitive to nuclear- and electron-spin couplings to exotic fields from astrophysical sources such as compact...

Cesium alignment produced by pumping with unpolarized light

Shi, Yongqi ; Weis, Antoine

In: The European Physical Journal D, 2018, vol. 72, no. 4, p. 73

We demonstrate optical pumping on the four hyperfine components of the Cs D1 transition by unpolarized (UPL) resonant laser light. The evidence is based on the reduction of the absorption coefficients κ0 with increasing light power P in an uncoated Cs vapor cell with isotropic spin relaxation. For comparison we perform the same quantitative κ0(P) measurements with linearly-polarized light...

Searching for axion stars and $Q$-balls with a terrestrial magnetometer network

Light (pseudo-)scalar fields are promising candidates to be the dark matter in the Universe. Under certain initial conditions in the early Universe and/or with certain types of self-interactions, they can form compact dark-matter objects such as axion stars or Q-balls. Direct encounters with such objects can be searched for by using a global network of atomic magnetometers. It is shown that...
