大量的天体物理学和宇宙学观测都可以用暗物质的存在来最好地解释，暗物质是一种质量密度，它与可见的重子物质的相互作用非常弱。寻找这种暗物质产生的极其微弱的信号强烈地推动了新型超灵敏探测器技术的发展。在经典和量子体制下，大规模机械系统的控制和读出方面的典范进步，使灵敏度达到了前所未有的水平。在本白皮书中，我们概述了一系列固态机械传感技术的潜在用途，以帮助在许多能量尺度和各种耦合机制中寻找暗物质。
Numerous astrophysical and cosmological observations are best explained by the existence of dark matter, a mass density which interacts only very weakly with visible, baryonic matter. Searching for the extremely weak signals produced by this dark matter strongly motivate the development of new, ultra-sensitive detector technologies. Paradigmatic advances in the control and readout of massive mechanical systems, in both the classical and quantum regimes, have enabled unprecedented levels of sensitivity. In this white paper, we outline recent ideas in the potential use of a range of solid-state mechanical sensing technologies to aid in the search for dark matter in a number of energy scales and with a variety of coupling mechanisms.
