Article Synopsis
- - Ultralight bosons like axion-like particles are considered strong contenders for dark matter and can create stable structures called topological defects that cluster dark matter in small areas throughout the galaxy.
- - The study utilized a global network of optical magnetometers to search for transient signals from domain walls created by these axion-like particles.
- - After analyzing a month of data, the researchers found no significant signals, which helps to limit the theoretical possibilities of dark matter involving these particles.
Cosmological observations indicate that dark matter makes up 85% of all matter in the universe yet its microscopic composition remains a mystery. Dark matter could arise from ultralight quantum fields that form macroscopic objects. Here we use the global positioning system as a ~ 50,000 km aperture dark matter detector to search for such objects in the form of domain walls.
