This paper discusses a novel approach for detecting moving massive objects based on the time variation that these objects produce in the local gravitational field measured by several detectors. Such an approach may provide a viable method for detecting stealth aircraft, UAVs, cruise, and ballistic missiles. By inverting a set of nonlinear algebraic equations, it is possible to use the time variation in the gravitational fields to compute the mass, position, and velocity of one or more moving objects. The approach is essentially a gravity-based form of triangulation. Based on order-of-magnitude calculations, we estimate that under realistic scenarios, this approach will be feasible if it is possible to design gravimetric devices that are four to five order of magnitude more sensitive than current devices. To achieve such a level of sensitivity, we suggest designing detectors that exploit a quantum-mechanical effect known as gravity-induced quantum interference. Furthermore, even if we have a perfect detector, it will be necessary to determine the magnitude of various atmospheric disturbances and other sources of noise.
Dark Matter experiments are recently focusing their detection techniques in low-mass WIMPs, which requires the use of light elements and low energy threshold. In this context, we present the TREX-DM experiment, a low background Micromegas-based TPC f

If Dark Matter is made of Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) with masses below $sim$20 GeV, the corresponding nuclear recoils in mainstream WIMP experiments are of energies too close, or below, the experimental threshold. Gas Time Projectio

We present a particle-level model for calculating the radio scatter of incident RF radiation from the plasma formed in the wake of a particle shower. We incorporate this model into a software module (RadioScatter), which calculates the collective sca
