The VORTEX cavity for the RADES axion haloscope
Jose María García-Barceló, Cristian Cogollos, Babette Döbrich +3
One of the major challenges in axion dark matter haloscope searches is a loss-less tuning mechanism that is able to cover a significant frequency range around the haloscope's centr…
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…

The International Axion Observatory (IAXO) is a next-generation axion helioscope designed to search for solar axions with unprecedented sensitivity. IAXO holds a unique position in…
An accurate solar axions ray-tracing response of BabyIAXO
S. Ahyoune, K. Altenmueller, I. Antolin +124
BabyIAXO is the intermediate stage of the International Axion Observatory (IAXO) to be hosted at DESY. Its primary goal is the detection of solar axions following the axion heliosc…
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…
Using Micromegas detectors for direct dark matter searches: challenges and perspectives
K. Altenmueller, . Antolin, D. Calvet +27
Gas time projection chambers (TPCs) with Micromegas pixelated readouts are being used in dark matter searches and other rare event searches, due to their potential in terms of low…
RADES axion search results with a High-Temperature Superconducting cavity in an 11.7 T magnet
S. Ahyoune, A. Álvarez Melcón, S. Arguedas Cuendis +23
We describe the results of a haloscope axion search performed with an 11.7 T dipole magnet at CERN. The search used a custom-made radio-frequency cavity coated with high-temperatur…
A proposal for a low-frequency axion search in the 1-2 eV range and below with the BabyIAXO magnet
S. Ahyoune, A. Álvarez Melcón, S. Arguedas Cuendis +27
In the near future BabyIAXO will be the most powerful axion helioscope, relying on a custom-made magnet of two bores of 70 cm diameter and 10 m long, with a total available magneti…
Recoil imaging for directional detection of dark matter, neutrinos, and physics beyond the Standard Model
C. A. J. O'Hare, D. Loomba, K. Altenmüller +164
Recoil imaging entails the detection of spatially resolved ionization tracks generated by particle interactions. This is a highly sought-after capability in many classes of detecto…
REST-for-Physics, a ROOT-based framework for event oriented data analysis and combined Monte Carlo response
