Summary

The broad objective is to probe physics beyond the standard model with gravitational waves,
in particular ultralight bosons as dark matter candidates. The main aim of the project is to
study the effect of ultralight bosons on binary black holes using numerical relativity. So far we have studied the single black hole case and included self-interactions for the scalar bosons.
