This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) provides $217,333 to Oberlin College from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2028 to support two international experiments searching for evidence of new physics beyond the Standard Model. The first experiment, the Global Network of Optical Magnetometers for Exotic Physics Searches (GNOME), will use a global sensor network to detect faint magnetic signals that could be caused by dark matter or other exotic fields from astrophysical events. The second experiment, the Search for Non-Interacting Particles Experimental Hunt (SNIPE HUNT), will use the Earth-ionosphere system to search for wave-like signals caused by dark matter fields. These complementary projects provide a unique and powerful approach to discovering new physics. Undergraduate students supported by the award will contribute to all aspects of the research and gain valuable STEM experience.
