DESCRIPTION:Recently it has been proposed to search for dark matter using 
 mechanical sensors\, exploiting the fact that all dark matter candidates 
 couple to the size or position of atoms. While focus has been directed 
 towards analyzing signal from gravitational wave detectors and equivalence
  principle tests\, a unique opportunity has emerged to develop compact 
 detectors based on cavity optomechanical systems\, which have recently 
 achieved force measurements at the quantum limit.  I'll discuss this 
 concept from an experimentalist's perspective\, highlighting a proposal to
  search for vector dark matter with optomechanical accelerometers.  In 
 this context\, our lab is developing a new generation of ultra-sensitive 
 accelerometers based on centimeter-scale silicon nitride membranes.\n\nhtt
