Microwave Cavities and Detectors for Axion Research : Proceedings of the 2nd International Workshop Hardback
Edited by Gianpaolo Carosi, Gray Rybka, Karl van Bibber
Part of the Springer Proceedings in Physics series
Hardback
Description
The nature of dark matter remains one of the preeminent mysteries in physics and cosmology.
It appears to require the existence of new particles whose interactions to ordinary matter are extraordinarily feeble.
One well-motivated candidate is the axion, an extraordinarily light neutral particle that may possibly be detected by looking for their conversion to detectable microwaves in the presence of a strong magnetic field.
This has led to a number of experimental searches that are beginning to probe plausible axion model space and may discover the axion in the near future.
These proceedings discuss the challenges of designing and operating tunable resonant cavities and detectors at ultralow temperatures.
The topics discussed here have potential application far beyond the field of dark matter detection and may be applied to resonant cavities for accelerators as well as designing superconducting detectors for quantum information and computing applications.
This work is intended for graduate students and researchers interested in learning the unique requirements for designing and operating microwave cavities and detectors for direct axion searches and to introduce several proposed experimental concepts that are still in the prototype stage.
