Constraints on the Exotic Spin-dependent Interactions from Magnetometers Data

The existence of exotic spin-dependent interactions is predicted by various new physics theories. These interactions generate macroscopic forces on polarized spins that can be detected with a magnetometer. The Sun and Moon could be considered mass sources capable of generating such interactions through axion, Z boson, or unparticle exchange. New experimental upper limits on exotic spin-dependent interactions mediated by axions or Z bosons at astronomical ranges are derived by analyzing magnetometer data measuring Lorentz and CPT violation. Additionally, the first upper limits on monopole-dipole spin-dependent interactions mediated by unparticles are obtained.
