Probing ultralight bosons with black holes and gravitational waves

该项目旨在从黑洞周围的超轻玻色子云中寻找引力波，并研究玻色子的性质。它希望通过结合前沿理论和创新的信号处理技术，对目前尚未发现的粒子产生新的知识。预计这些粒子将解决粒子和高能物理中的问题，并且是令人信服的暗物质候选者。预期的结果包括对粒子特性和新粒子潜在检测的高调限制，新的数据分析技术，以及建立国际和跨学科合作的显着增强的能力。这将给基础物理学和宇宙学带来巨大的好处。

This project aims to search for gravitational waves from ultralight boson clouds around black holes and to investigate the boson properties. It expects to generate new knowledge on currently undiscovered particles by combining cutting-edge theories and innovative signal-processing techniques. These particles are predicted to solve problems in particle and high-energy physics and are compelling dark matter candidates. Expected outcomes include high-profile constraints on the particle properties and potential detection of new particles, new data-analysis techniques, and significantly enhanced capacity to build international and interdisciplinary collaborations. These should bring significant benefits to fundamental physics and cosmology.
