论文摘要
在直接检测实验中没有粒子暗物质的明确信号激发了可行参数空间不同区域的新方法。在这张雪人白皮书中，我们概述了Windchime项目，该计划旨在构建大量量子增强机械传感器。最终的目的是建立一个能够通过其重力耦合到普通物质的探测器，该检测器纯粹是通过其引力耦合来搜索普朗克大规模暗物质的。在较短的期限中，我们旨在寻找其他许多物理目标，尤其是一些超轻的暗物质候选者。在这里，我们讨论了基本设计，开放的研发挑战和机遇，当前的实验努力以及Windchime项目的短期和长期物理目标。
The absence of clear signals from particle dark matter in direct detection experiments motivates new approaches in disparate regions of viable parameter space. In this Snowmass white paper, we outline the Windchime project, a program to build a large array of quantum-enhanced mechanical sensors. The ultimate aim is to build a detector capable of searching for Planck mass-scale dark matter purely through its gravitational coupling to ordinary matter. In the shorter term, we aim to search for a number of other physics targets, especially some ultralight dark matter candidates. Here, we discuss the basic design, open R&D challenges and opportunities, current experimental efforts, and both short- and long-term physics targets of the Windchime project.
