Description
Ultra-low mass WIMP's are viable dark matter candidates. However, the resulting low-energy excitations are extraordinarily difficult to detect. I will outline a new experimental platform that translates the capabilities of optomechanics to enable detection of ~1ueV excitations in superfluid helium.
