Dark matter has contacted with sciencists Dark matter has contacted the Physics of the University of Western Australia and the Advanced Center for Dark Matter Physics (CDM) have built a gravitational wave detector that recorded two previously unobserved rare events, possibly associated with dark matter. This is reported in the journal Physical Review Letters. The heart of the detector is a bulk acoustic wave (BAW) quartz resonator. This device is based on a quartz crystal disk that can vibrate at high frequencies due to acoustic waves passing through it. These waves create an electrical charge that can be detected by placing conductive plates on the outer surfaces of a quartz disc. The BAW has been connected to a superconducting quantum interference device known as SQUID, which acts as an extremely sensitive amplifier for the low voltage signal. The entire unit was placed inside several radiation shields to protect it from stray electromagnetic fields and cooled to a low temperature so that low-energy acoustic vibrations of the quartz crystal could be recorded. During the first 153 days of the detector's operation, candidate events were recorded, indicating high-frequency gravitational waves, which could be created by a primordial black hole or a cloud of dark matter particles. However, an alternative explanation could be the presence of charged particles, accumulating mechanical stress, a meteorite event, or an internal atomic process. According to scientists, the development of this technology could potentially provide the first detection of gravitational waves at high frequencies.
