Searching for Ultralight Dark Matter with SNIPE Hunt Experiment

POSTER

Abstract

Dark matter candidates such as axions and dark photons can generate coherent, oscillating magnetic fields at the Earth's surface, arising from boundary conditions between the conductive Earth and the ionosphere. The Search for Non-Interacting Particles Experiment (SNIPE) collaboration employs a global network of magnetometers in radio-quiet locations to search for these signals. An update on SNIPE's progress, including efforts to enhance sensitivity and extend the search to higher frequencies will be presented.
