Search for solar axions produced through the axion-electron coupling using a new GridPix detector at CAST

K. Altenmüller, V. Anastassopoulos, S. Arguedas-Cuendis +61

We present a search for solar axions produced through the axion-electron coupling using data from a novel 7-GridPix detector installed at the CERN Axion Solar Telescope…

A new upper limit on the axion-photon coupling with an extended CAST run with a Xe-based Micromegas detector

CAST Collaboration, K. Altenmüller, V. Anastassopoulos +62

Hypothetical axions provide a compelling explanation for dark matter and could be emitted from the hot solar interior. The CERN Axion Solar Telescope (CAST) has been searching for…

Improved Search for Solar Chameleons with a GridPix Detector at CAST

V. Anastassopoulos, S. Aune, K. Barth +66

We report on a new search for solar chameleons with the CERN Axion Solar Telescope (CAST). A GridPix detector was used to search for soft X-ray photons in the energy range from 200…

New CAST Limit on the Axion-Photon Interaction

CAST collaboration, V. Anastassopoulos, S. Aune +64

During 2003--2015, the CERN Axion Solar Telescope (CAST) has searched for conversion in the 9 T magnetic field of a refurbished LHC test magnet that can be directed toward…

A Micromegas-based low-background x-ray detector coupled to a slumped-glass telescope for axion research

F. Aznar, J. Castel, F. E. Christensen +18

We report on the design, construction and operation of a low background x-ray detection line composed of a shielded Micromegas (micromesh gaseous structure) detector of the microbu…

Low Background Micromegas in CAST

J. G. Garza, S. Aune, D. Calvet +22

Solar axions could be converted into x-rays inside the strong magnetic field of an axion helioscope, triggering the detection of this elusive particle. Low background x-ray detecto…

Search for chameleons with CAST

V. Anastassopoulos, M. Arik, S. Aune +61

In this work we present a search for (solar) chameleons with the CERN Axion Solar Telescope (CAST). This novel experimental technique, in the field of dark energy research, exploit…

Conceptual Design of the International Axion Observatory (IAXO)

E. Armengaud, F. T. Avignone, M. Betz +85

The International Axion Observatory (IAXO) will be a forth generation axion helioscope. As its primary physics goal, IAXO will look for axions or axion-like particles (ALPs) origin…
