Cryogenic RF characterization of the MAGO cavity for high-frequency gravitational-wave detection
Can Dokuyucu, Bianca Giaccone, Tom Krokotsch +13
Superconducting radio-frequency (SRF) cavities are promising resonant sensors for gravitational-wave detection in the kHz-MHz frequency range. We report the cryogenic RF characteri…
Improved Dark Photon Sensitivity from the Dark SRF Experiment
Saarik Kalia, Zhen Liu, Bianca Giaccone +15
We report the refined dark-photon exclusion bound from Dark SRF's pathfinder run. Our new result is driven by improved theoretical modeling of frequency instability in high-quality…
Detection of high-frequency gravitational waves using SRF cavities
M. Wenskat, B. Giaccone, J. Branlard +21
Today, apart from some isolated R&D efforts, there are no gravitational wave (GW) experiments, yet which explore a large part of the vast frequency range above the LIGO/Virgo band.…
First characterisation of the MAGO cavity, a superconducting RF detector for kHz-MHz gravitational waves
Lars Fischer, Bianca Giaccone, Ivan Gonin +12
Heterodyne detection using microwave cavities is a promising method for detecting high-frequency gravitational waves or ultralight axion dark matter. In this work, we report on stu…
