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…

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…
