Description

The global network of optical magnetometers for exotic physics search (GNOME) is currently being set-up internationally. More than 10 highly-sensitive, shielded magnetometers are synchronized via GPS and look for global transient spin-interacting events as a signature for new physics. As a model we consider interactions with axion-like particle domain walls that transverse the Earth. We present the network, discuss its characterization and demonstrate some data Analysis techniques of the recent scienctific runs.
