We propose in this White Paper a concept for a space experiment using cold atoms to search for ultra-light dark matter, and to detect gravitational waves in the frequency range between the most sensitive ranges of LISA and the terrestrial LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA/INDIGO experiments. This interdisciplinary experiment, called Atomic Experiment for Dark Matter and Gravity Exploration (AEDGE), will also complement other planned searches for dark matter, and exploit synergies with other gravitational wave detectors. We give examples of the extended range of sensitivity to ultra-light dark matter offered by AEDGE, and how its gravitational-wave measurements could explore the assembly of super-massive black holes, first-order phase transitions in the early universe and cosmic strings. AEDGE will be based upon technologies now being developed for terrestrial experiments using cold atoms, and will benefit from the space experience obtained with, e.g., LISA and cold atom experiments in microgravity. This paper is based on a submission (v1) in response to the Call for White Papers for the Voyage 2050 long-term plan in the ESA Science Programme. ESA limited the number of White Paper authors to 30. However, in this version (v2) we have welcomed as supporting authors participants in the Workshop on Atomic Experiments for Dark Matter and Gravity Exploration held at CERN: ({\tt https://indico.cern.ch/event/830432/}), as well as other interested scientists, and have incorporated additional material.

    hep-ph 2025-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A scalar with hard field-space boundaries — a 'wallion' — is a viable ultralight dark-matter candidate whose exponentially small, radiatively stable mass and saturated relic density at large misalignment also suppress...

  3. Atomic Quantum Sensors for High-Frequency Gravitational Wave Searches

    hep-ph 2025-10 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    hep-ph 2025-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A two-component dark matter model combining an inert scalar triplet with a pseudo-Goldstone singlet revives the sub-TeV triplet desert region and predicts gravitational waves detectable by LISA, BBO, and DECIGO.

  5. Very-High-Frequency Gravitational Waves from Multi-Monodromy Inflation

    hep-ph 2026-01 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    In multi-stage axion monodromy inflation, an interruption 50–52 efolds before the end of inflation produces a narrow gravitational-wave background peaked at ~10–300 kHz, at strains near proposed detector sensitivities.

    hep-ph 2025-11 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A radiative-seesaw model with singlet-doublet dark matter can satisfy neutrino, muon, flavor, relic, and direct-detection constraints while producing a first-order electroweak phase transition with gravitational waves...

    astro-ph.CO 2025-08 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A Bayesian analysis shows that a future sub-solar PBH detection would make the primordial SIGW interpretation of PTA data favored over the SMBH interpretation, but this preference is driven by the detection prior.

    hep-ph 2025-07 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Waterfall-phase e-foldings in R-symmetric SUSY hybrid inflation can produce a PTA-compatible scalar-induced gravitational wave background and, in SU(5), dilute monopoles to observable levels.
