Searches for Ultralight Bosonic Dark MatterONLINE ONLY

In this informal talk, we will attempt to step “back to basics” and explain the motivation for considering ultralight bosonic dark matter (UBDM) fields as a candidate to explain a major “elephant-in-the-room” problem of modern science.  We will then survey a range of experimental approaches to searching for UBDM, which will show that we are witnessing the disappearance of boundaries between astronomy, particle, nuclear, and atomic/molecular physics, with accelerators continuing to be among the most powerful tools for discovery.
