Motivation Traditional “scattering-off-nuclei” searches for
heavy WIMP dark matter particles (χ) have not yet
produced a strong positive result.

abundance of neutrons to protons (almost all neutrons
are bound in 4He by the end of BBN).

Low-mass Spin-0 Dark Matter Non-thermal production of coherently oscillating classical
field, φ(t) = φ0 cos(mφt)
†, in the early Universe, e.g., via the misalignment mechanism. [10-22 eV ≤ mφ ≤ 0.1 eV]
Sufficiently low-mass and feebly-interacting bosons are practically stable (mφ ≤ 24 eV for the QCD axion), and survive to the present day to form galactic DM haloes (where they may be detected).
† Natural units adopted henceforth: ℏ = c = 1

Low-mass Spin-0 Dark Matter The mass range 10-22 eV ≤ mφ ≤ 0.1 eV is inaccessible
to traditional “scattering-off-nuclei” and collider searches, but large regions are accessible to low-
energy atomic experiments that search for oscillating
signals produced by φ(t) = φ0 cos(mφt)
[10-8 Hz* ≤ f ≤ 1013 Hz].
In particular, ultra-low-mass spin-0 DM with mass
mφ ~ 10-22 eV has been proposed to resolve several
long-standing “small-scale crises” of the cold DM model (cusp-core problem, missing satellite problem,
etc.), due to its effects on structure formation†.
* f ~ 10-8 Hz (mφ ~ 10-22 eV) corresponds to T ~ 1 year.
† On sub-wavelength length scales, the gravitational collapse of DM is prevented
by quantum pressure.

Coherence of Galactic DM Gravitational interactions between DM and ordinary
matter during galactic structure formation result in
the virialisation of the DM particles (vvir ~ 10-3 c),
which gives the galactic DM field the finite
coherence time and finite coherence length:

Take a simple scalar field and give it a self-potential,
e.g., V(φ) = (φ2-v2)2 . If φ = -v at x = -∞ and φ = +v at
x = +∞, then a stable domain wall will form in between,
e.g., φ(x) = v tanh(xmφ) with mφ = 1/2 v .
The characteristic “span” of this object is d ~ 1/mφ, and
it is carrying energy per area ~ v2/d ~ v2mφ . Networks of
such topological defects can give contributions to dark
matter/dark energy and act as seeds for structure
formation.

Topological defects may have large amplitude, large
transverse size (possibly macroscopic) and large
distances (possibly astronomical) between them.
=> Signatures of topological defects are very different
from other forms of dark matter!
Topological defects produce transient-in-time effects.

Detection of topological defects via transient-in-time
effects requires searching for correlated signals using
a terrestrial or space-based network of detectors.

Non-adiabatic passage of a topological defect through a
pulsar may trigger a pulsar ‘glitch’ event (which have
already been observed, but their underlying cause is still
disputed); e.g., via unpinning of vortices in neutron superfluid
core (vortices initially pinned to neutron crust).

Glitch Theory • Model pulsar as 2-component system: neutron
superfluid core, surrounded by neutron crust
• 2 components can rotate independently of one
another
• Rotation of neutron superfluid core quantified by
area density of quantised vortices (which carry
angular momentum)
• Strong vortex ‘pinning’ to neutron crust
• Can vortices be unpinned by topological defect?
• Vortices avalanche = pulsar glitch

Yukawa-type Fifth-Forces Yukawa-type interactions, e.g., between a spin-0 boson φ
and a SM fermion f, produce an attractive Yukawa-type
potential between two fermions:
Yukawa-type fifth-forces are traditionally sought for with
measurements of vector quantities, usually the difference
in acceleration of two test bodies in the presence of a
massive body (Earth or Sun):
– Torsion pendulum experiments
– Lunar laser ranging
– Atom interferometry

[Leefer, Gerhardus, Budker, Flambaum, Stadnik, PRL 117, 271601 (2016)]
Variation of Fundamental Constants
Induced by a Massive Body
Varying the distance away from a massive body hence alters
the fundamental constants, in the presence of Yukawa-type
interactions:
We can search for such alterations in the fundamental
constants, using clock frequency comparison
measurements ( 1/ 2 => scalar quantities), in the presence
of a massive body at two different distances away from the
clock pair:
– Sun (elliptical orbit, e = 0.0167)
– Moon (e ≈ 0.05, with seasonal variation and effect of finite Earth size)
– Massive objects in the laboratory (e.g., moveable 300kg Pb mass)

interact with each other only electrostatically, there is complete
shielding of the constituent EDMs when the system is exposed to an
external electric field.”

Axion-Induced Oscillating PNC Effects in
Atoms and Molecules [Stadnik, Flambaum, PRD 89, 043522 (2014)], [Roberts, Stadnik, Dzuba, Flambaum,
Leefer, Budker, PRL 113, 081601 (2014) + PRD 90, 096005 (2014)]
Interaction of the oscillating axion field with atomic/molecular
electrons mixes opposite-parity states, producing oscillating
PNC effects in atoms and molecules.
Axion-induced oscillating atomic PNC effects are determined
entirely by relativistic corrections (in the non-relativistic
approximation, KPNC = 0)*.
* Compare with the Standard Model static atomic PNC effects in atoms, which are
dominated by Z0-boson exchange between atomic electrons and nucleons in the
nucleus, where the effects arise already in the non-relativistic approximation, see,
e.g., [Ginges, Flambaum, Phys. Rept. 397, 63 (2004)] for an overview.

Can the DAMA result be explained by the

• Using results of XENON10 and XENON100, we find no
region of parameter space in m and mV that is
consistent with interpretation of DAMA result in terms of
“ionising scattering on electrons” scenario.
