Graduate Student, Northwestern University, Physics and Sensing Focus Area Team Member, SQMS
Chloe is a graduate research assistant on the Axion Resonant InterAction Detection Experiment (ARIADNE) collaboration, which will use nuclear magnetic resonance to search for the QCD axion, a notable dark matter candidate.
Many axion experiments, dark matter search experiments, and experiments relying on spin-based sensors, need extremely good magnetic field sensitivity and thus require excellent shielding of background magnetic noise. At SQMS, we are partnering with scientists at Fermilab to develop low-background-flux-noise, low-penetration-depth superconducting thin films.
