SUMMARY:Benchtop Particle Astrophysics\, NPAC (Nuclear/Particle/Astro/
 Cosmo) Forum\, Gray Rybka\, University of Washington
DESCRIPTION:Advances in low noise cryogenic amplifiers and the commerc
 ialization of microwave technology have not only improved astrophysica
 l measurements\, but also enabled exquisitely sensitive laboratory exp
 eriments.  I will discuss a number of benchtop experiments that utiliz
 e radio astronomy techniques and technology to make measurements that 
 are important for astroparticle physics.  The experiments I cover will
  include searches for dark matter axions using electronics with noise 
 limited only by quantum mechanical effects\, searches for light exotic
  beyond-the-standard-model particles\, and a precision measurement of 
 beta decay energies that could be used to determine the neutrino mass 
 scale.
