We search for ultralight scalar dark matter candidates that induce oscillations of the fine structure constant, the electron and quark masses, and the quantum chromodynamics energy scale with frequency comparison data between a ^{171}Yb optical lattice clock and a ^{133}Cs fountain microwave clock that span 298 days with an uptime of 15.4%. New limits on the couplings of the scalar dark matter to electrons and gluons in the mass range from 10^{-22} to 10^{-20} eV/c^{2} are set, assuming that each of these couplings is the dominant source of the modulation in the frequency ratio. The absolute frequency of the ^{171}Yb clock transition is also determined as 518 295 836 590 863.69(28) Hz, which is one of the important contributions toward a redefinition of the second in the International System of Units.
我们利用一台(^{171}Yb)光晶格钟和一台(^{133}Cs)喷泉微波钟之间长达298天、正常运行时间为15.4%的频率比较数据,来寻找能引发精细结构常数、电子和夸克质量以及量子色动力学能量标度振荡的超轻标量暗物质候选物。假设这些耦合中的每一个都是频率比调制的主要来源,我们设定了标量暗物质与电子和胶子在(10^{-22})至(10^{-20}\ eV/c^{2})质量范围内耦合的新限制。(^{171}Yb)钟跃迁的绝对频率也被确定为518 295 836 590 863.69(28) Hz,这是对国际单位制中秒的重新定义的重要贡献之一。
