A tunable photonic band gap resonator for axion dark matter searches

Samantha M. Lewis, Dillon T. Goulart, Mirelys Carcana Barbosa +5

Axions are a well-motivated dark matter candidate particle. Haloscopes aim to detect axions in the galactic halo by measuring the photon signal resulting from axions interacting wi…

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…

A Symmetric Multi-rod Tunable Microwave Cavity for the HAYSTAC Dark Matter Axion Search

Maria Simanovskaia, Alex Droster, Heather Jackson +2

The microwave cavity experiment is the most sensitive way of looking for axions in the 0.1-10 GHz range, corresponding to masses of 0.5 - 40 eV. The particular challenge for fre…

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…

Results from phase 1 of the HAYSTAC microwave cavity axion experiment

L. Zhong, S. Al Kenany, K. M. Backes +18

We report on the results from a search for dark matter axions with the HAYSTAC experiment using a microwave cavity detector at frequencies between 5.6-5.8. We exclude a…

Design and Operational Experience of a Microwave Cavity Axion Detector for the 20-100 micro-eV Range

S. Al Kenany, M. A. Anil, K. M. Backes +17

We describe a dark matter axion detector designed, constructed, and operated both as an innovation platform for new cavity and amplifier technologies and as a data pathfinder in th…

First results from a microwave cavity axion search at 24 micro-eV

B. M. Brubaker, L. Zhong, Y. V. Gurevich +17

We report on the first results from a new microwave cavity search for dark matter axions with masses above . We exclude axion models with two-photon coupling $g_{aγγ…
