Searching for scalar field dark matter with hyperfine transitions in alkali atoms
Fundamental constants such as masses and coupling constants of elementary particles can have small temporal and spatial variations in the scalar field dark-matter model. These variations entail time oscillations of other constants, such as the Bohr and nuclear magnetons, Bohr radius, and the hyperfine structure constant. In the presence of …
