Design of ALPHA Phase I: A Plasma Haloscope for 10--20 GHz Post-Inflation Axions

ALPHA Collaboration, Xiran Bai, Rustam Balafendiev +53

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…

Search for Dark Photons between 16.96--19.52 eV with the HAYSTAC Experiment

Xiran Bai, A. Droster, J. Echevers +21

We report dark photon results from HAYSTAC Phase II using data from previously reported axion searches. Additionally, we present an analysis of an unpublished dataset covering a re…

New Results from HAYSTAC's Phase II Operation with a Squeezed State Receiver

HAYSTAC Collaboration, M. J. Jewell, A. F. Leder +26

A search for dark matter axions with masses has been performed using the HAYSTAC experiment's squeezed state receiver to achieve sub-quantum limited noise. This rep…

A quantum-enhanced search for dark matter axions

K. M. Backes, D. A. Palken, S. Al Kenany +21

In dark matter axion searches, quantum uncertainty manifests as a fundamental noise source, limiting the measurement of the quadrature observables used for detection. We use vacuum…

An improved analysis framework for axion dark matter searches

D. A. Palken, B. M. Brubaker, M. Malnou +17

In experiments searching for axionic dark matter, the use of the standard threshold-based data analysis discards valuable information. We present a Bayesian analysis framework that…
