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…
Challenges and Opportunities of Gravitational Wave Searches above 10 kHz
Nancy Aggarwal, Odylio D. Aguiar, Diego Blas +34
The first direct measurement of gravitational waves by the LIGO and Virgo collaborations has opened up new avenues to explore our Universe. This white paper outlines the challenges…
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…
