Detecting Dark Domain Walls in a Topologically-Tailored Vacuum Chamber

We propose a laboratory experiment to detect the fifth force mediated by a new light scalar field. The symmetron is a light scalar field which couples quadratically to matter, with a symmetry-breaking potential that takes the form of a symmetric double well. As the characteristic phase transition of...
