Optomechanical Sensing for Subatomic and Astroparticle Physics

The meeting will connect researchers developing state-of-the-art optomechanical sensors in the nuclear, particle, and astroparticle communities that could use them. A central goal is to identify concrete experimental opportunities, technical challenges, and new collaborations at the interface of these fields.

CONTEXT: OPTOMECHANICAL SENSING

Mechanical resonators operating at or near the quantum limit are opening new approaches to some of the most challenging measurements in fundamental physics. This workshop will bring together researchers in optomechanics, quantum sensing, atomic physics, and subatomic and astroparticle physics to explore how these rapidly developing technologies can be applied to searches for new particles and forces, precision recoil measurements, neutrino physics, dark matter detection, and tests of fundamental quantum mechanics.
