在这篇白色论文中，我们提出了一个概念，使用冷原子来寻找超轻暗物质的空间实验，并检测丽莎和陆地LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA/靛蓝实验最敏感范围之间的频率范围内的引力波。这项跨学科的实验被称为暗物质和引力探测的原子实验（AEDGE），它还将补充其他计划中的暗物质搜索，并利用与其他引力波探测器的协同作用。我们给出了AEDGE提供的超轻暗物质的扩展范围的灵敏度的例子，以及它的引力波测量如何可以探索超大质量黑洞的组装，早期宇宙和宇宙弦的一阶相变。AEDGE将以目前正在开发的利用冷原子进行地面实验的技术为基础，并将受益于从以下方面获得的空间经验：微重力下的丽莎和冷原子实验。KCL-PH-TH/2019-65，CERN-TH-2019-126
We propose in this White Paper a concept for a space experiment using cold atoms to search for ultra-light dark matter, and to detect gravitational waves in the frequency range between the most sensitive ranges of LISA and the terrestrial LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA/INDIGO experiments. This interdisciplinary experiment, called Atomic Experiment for Dark Matter and Gravity Exploration (AEDGE), will also complement other planned searches for dark matter, and exploit synergies with other gravitational wave detectors. We give examples of the extended range of sensitivity to ultra-light dark matter offered by AEDGE, and how its gravitational-wave measurements could explore the assembly of super-massive black holes, first-order phase transitions in the early universe and cosmic strings. AEDGE will be based upon technologies now being developed for terrestrial experiments using cold atoms, and will benefit from the space experience obtained with, e.g., LISA and cold atom experiments in microgravity.
