pn-CCDs in a Low-Background Environment: Detector Background of the CAST X-ray Telescope
M. Kuster, S. Cebrian, A. Rodriquez +8
The CAST experiment at CERN (European Organization of Nuclear Research) searches for axions from the sun. The axion is a pseudoscalar particle that was motivated by theory thirty y…
Probing eV-scale axions with CAST
CAST Collaboration, E. Arik, S. Aune +70
We have searched for solar axions or other pseudoscalar particles that couple to two photons by using the CERN Axion Solar Telescope (CAST) setup. Whereas we previously have report…
Two-Dimensional Far-Field Correlations of X-ray Photon Pairs
E. Strizhevsky, Y. Klein, R. Hartmann +9
We directly observe far-field correlations of x-ray photon pairs generated by spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC). Using an energy-resolved, two-dimensional photon counti…
The X-ray Telescope of CAST
M. Kuster, H. Bräuninger, S. Cébrian +23
The Cern Axion Solar Telescope (CAST) is in operation and taking data since 2003. The main objective of the CAST experiment is to search for a hypothetical pseudoscalar boson, the…
CAST solar axion search with 3^He buffer gas: Closing the hot dark matter gap
M. Arik, S. Aune, K. Barth +72
The CERN Axion Solar Telescope (CAST) has finished its search for solar axions with 3^He buffer gas, covering the search range 0.64 eV < m_a <1.17 eV. This closes the gap to the co…
Background study for the pn-CCD detector of CERN Axion Solar Telescope
S. Cebrián, A. RodrÃguez, M. Kuster +12
The CERN Axion Solar Telescope (CAST) experiment searches for axions from the Sun converted into photons with energies up to around 10 keV via the inverse Primakoff effect in the h…
