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…

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…
