Design of ALPHA Phase I: A Plasma Haloscope for 10--20 GHz Post-Inflation Axions
ALPHA Collaboration, Xiran Bai, Rustam Balafendiev +54
The axion is a well-motivated hypothetical particle capable of resolving both the strong CP problem and the dark matter mystery, with recent post-inflationary cosmological simulati…
Searching For Dark Matter with Plasma Haloscopes
Alexander J. Millar, Steven M. Anlage, Rustam Balafendiev +24
We summarise the recent progress of the Axion Longitudinal Plasma HAloscope (ALPHA) Consortium, a new experimental collaboration to build a plasma haloscope to search for axions an…
A Beamdump Facility at Jefferson Lab
Patrick Achenbach, Andrei Afanasev, Pawel Ambrozewicz +47
This White Paper is exploring the potential of intense secondary muon, neutrino, and (hypothetical) light dark matter beams produced in interactions of high-intensity electron beam…
A Symmetric Multi-rod Tunable Microwave Cavity for the HAYSTAC Dark Matter Axion Search
Maria Simanovskaia, Alex Droster, Heather Jackson +2
The microwave cavity experiment is the most sensitive way of looking for axions in the 0.1-10 GHz range, corresponding to masses of 0.5 - 40 eV. The particular challenge for fr…
