Axion search with a quantum-limited ferromagnetic haloscope
N. Crescini, D. Alesini, C. Braggio +13
A ferromagnetic axion haloscope searches for Dark Matter in the form of axions by exploiting their interaction with electronic spins. It is composed of an axion-to-electromagnetic…
Galactic axions search with a superconducting resonant cavity
D. Alesini, C. Braggio, G. Carugno +22
To account for the dark matter content in our Universe, post-inflationary scenarios predict for the QCD axion a mass in the range $(10-10^3)\,μ\mbox{eV}$. Searches with haloscope e…
Operation of a ferromagnetic axion haloscope at eV
N. Crescini, D. Alesini, C. Braggio +15
Axions, originally proposed to solve the strong CP problem of quantum chromodynamics, emerge now as leading candidates of WISP dark matter. The rich phenomenology associated to the…
Searching for galactic axions through magnetized media: QUAX status report
G. Ruoso, D. Alesini, C. Braggio +15
The current status of the QUAX R\&D program is presented. QUAX is a feasibility study for a detection of axion as dark matter based on the coupling to the electrons. The relevant s…
Effects of neutron irradiation on polycrystalline Mg11B2
C. Tarantini, H. U. Aebersold, V. Braccini +13
We studied the influence of the disorder introduced in polycrystalline MgB2 samples by neutron irradiation. To circumvent self shielding effects due to the strong interaction betwe…
