Search for dark matter axions at 1-2 micro-eV with a RADES-DarkQuantum haloscope at CERN

Alberto Arcusa Puente, Sergio Arguedas Cuendis, Marcos Buetas Mata +25

The QCD axion remains one of the most compelling candidates for the dark matter of the Universe, yet the mass range around \text{--}\SI{2}{\micro\electronvolt} remains essential…

Resonant heterodyne conversion applied to a low-frequency haloscope for dark matter axion searches in the 1-35 MHz range

Jose R. Navarro-Madrid, José Reina-Valero, Alejandro Díaz-Morcillo +1

We study resonant heterodyne up-conversion in the RADES-BabyIAXO haloscope as a method to search for low-mass dark matter axions using microwave cavities. Starting from axion elect…

Multiple-cavities interferometric analysis for dark matter axions directional-sensitive search based on signal cross-correlation processing

José Reina-Valero, Alejandro Díaz-Morcillo, Benito Gimeno +5

Current axion detection limits neglect the relevance of the relative velocity between the axion field and the detectors. However, this aspect can lead to a daily modulation of the…
