abstract
A search for a new scalar field, called moduli, has been performed using the cryogenic resonant-mass AURIGA detector. Predicted by string theory, moduli may provide a significant contribution to the dark matter (DM) component of our universe. If this is the case, the interaction of ordinary matter with the local DM moduli, forming the Galaxy halo, will cause an oscillation of solid bodies with a frequency corresponding to the mass of moduli. In the sensitive band of AURIGA, some $100\,\mathrm{Hz}$ at around $1\,\mathrm{kHz}$, the expected signal, with a $Q=\tfrac{\triangle f}{f}\sim10^{6}$, is a narrow peak, $\triangle f\sim1\,\mathrm{mHz}$. Here the detector strain sensitivity is $h_{s}\sim2\times10^{-21}\,\mathrm{Hz^{-1/2}}$, within a factor of $2$. These numbers translate to upper limits at $95\%\,C.L.$ on the moduli coupling to ordinary matter $d_{e}\lesssim10^{-5}$ around masses $m_{\phi}=3.6\cdot10^{-12}\,\mathrm{eV}$, for the standard DM halo model with $\rho_{DM}=0.3\,\mathrm{GeV/cm^{3}}$.

Probing Terrestrial Relic Neutrino Charge with Mach-Zehnder Interferometer
A Mach-Zehnder interferometer with one vertical arm is proposed to probe relic neutrino charge, with claimed sensitivity down to epsilon_nu ~ 10^-22, but the signal calculation is flawed.
