The informal 1-day Workshop on the phenomenology of Dark Matter searches with Quantum Sensors, which will take place at Kings College London on March 6. The event will start at 10am and last until about 3pm.
The workshop is organised in the context of the ongoing "Quantum Sensors for Fundamental Physics” activity that was launched in Oct 16-17, 2018 in Oxford.

The idea is to brainstorm the options for Dark Sector searches with Quantum Sensors in categories like:
- light DM (< GeV scale) which is hard to see in DD or at the LHC because of negligible nuclear recoil or missing energy, respectively.
- ultralight (fuzzy) DM (~10^-22 eV) that behaves more like a classical wave and ends up modifying fundamental constants through oscillations.
We hope that this event will facilitate the process of establishing a sound phenomenology input for the ongoing work in the different Work Packages of QSFT (e.g. atom interferometry and spectroscopy), which in turn could help to strengthen and refine the physics case for forthcoming funding proposals. In this context we would also like to discuss the tools (e.g. Whitepaper, etc) to best inject this information in the process.
Please note, due to room restriction the participation is limited to 35 people and, therefore, it is mandatory that you register for this event.
Looking forward to seeing you soon at KCL!
