First uncertainty evaluation of the cesium fountain primary frequency standard NMIJ-F2

Akifumi Takamizawa et al.

Summary: In this study, we report the first uncertainty evaluation of NMIJ-F2, the second atomic fountain primary frequency standard at the National Metrology Institute of Japan. By increasing the number of detected atoms and employing an ultra-stable cryogenic sapphire oscillator, the frequency stability has been significantly improved.

Dark Matter Search Results from the PandaX-4T Commissioning Run

Yue Meng et al.

Summary: Dark matter search results using PandaX-4T commissioning data showed no significant excess over background, setting a stringent limit for dark matter-nucleon spin-independent interactions with the lowest excluded cross section at a dark matter mass of 40 GeV/c(2) at 3.8 x 10(-47) cm(2) (90% C.L.).

Search for Invisible Axion Dark Matter in the 3.3-4.2 μeV Mass Range

C. Bartram et al.

Summary: Our experiment reported results from a haloscope search for axion dark matter, excluding the axion-photon coupling predicted by a benchmark model. The sensitivity was achieved through the use of a large-volume cavity, a superconducting magnet, an ultra low noise Josephson parametric amplifier, and subKelvin temperatures. The validity of the detection procedure was ensured by injecting and detecting blind synthetic axion signals.

Stochastic fluctuations of bosonic dark matter

Gary P. Centers et al.

Summary: Studies have shown that constraints inferred from several previous null experiments searching for ultralight bosonic dark matter were overestimated by factors ranging from 3 to 10, due to not considering the characteristic coherence time of the dark matter field. Laboratory measurements need to take into account the stochastic nature of such a virialized ultralight field when interpreting data.

Experimental Constraint on Axionlike Particles over Seven Orders of Magnitude in Mass

Tanya S. Roussy et al.

Summary: The study used electric dipole moment (EDM) measurement data to constrain the possibility of the HfF+ EDM oscillating in time due to interactions with candidate dark matter axionlike particles (ALPs). The results showed no evidence of oscillation over a certain frequency range, leading to constraints on the ALP-gluon coupling. This is the first laboratory constraint on the ALP-gluon coupling in a specific mass range, properly accounting for the stochastic nature of the ALP field.

Characterization and Suppression of Background Light Shifts in an Optical Lattice Clock

R. J. Fasano et al.

Summary: Experiments involving optical traps require careful control of light-induced shift, with magic wavelength traps effectively suppressing deleterious effects. Laser background spectra can contaminate measurements of magic wavelength and its reproducibility, impacting optical clock measurements. The study presents a theoretical model to predict light shifts from laser background and demonstrates the effectiveness of a filtering method to reduce background light shifts significantly.

Absolute frequency measurement of the 171Yb optical lattice clock at KRISS using TAI for over a year

Huidong Kim et al.

Summary: This study reports a 14-month measurement of the absolute frequency of the S-1(0)-P-3(0) transition in the Yb-171 optical lattice clock at KRISS, with high accuracy and good agreement with other reports. The determined absolute frequency is expected to contribute to the future update of the CIPM recommendation frequency of the secondary frequency standards.

Transportable Strontium Optical Lattice Clocks Operated Outside Laboratory at the Level of 10-18 Uncertainty

Noriaki Ohmae et al.

Summary: Transportable strontium optical lattice clocks have been developed with high precision for applications outside laboratories, demonstrating their reliability in field environments. The clocks consist of a spectroscopy chamber and two laser boxes, utilizing external cavity diode lasers with adjustment-free, laser-welded output couplers. Transporting the system to different locations did not cause serious optical misalignments despite experiencing acceleration changes.
