Extending axions searches with a spherical TPC
Javier Galan, Gilles Gerbier, Ioannis Giomataris +2
We present the prospects for detection of KK-axions using a large volume spherical TPC through natural decay to two gammas. The higher excited mass states of this axion model allow…
Low background x-ray detection with Micromegas for axion research
S. Aune, J. F. Castel, T. Dafni +23
Axion helioscopes aim at the detection of solar axions through their conversion into x-rays in laboratory magnetic fields. The use of low background x-ray detectors is an essential…
CAST solar axion search with 3^He buffer gas: Closing the hot dark matter gap
M. Arik, S. Aune, K. Barth +72
The CERN Axion Solar Telescope (CAST) has finished its search for solar axions with 3^He buffer gas, covering the search range 0.64 eV < m_a <1.17 eV. This closes the gap to the co…
Characterization and simulation of resistive-MPGDs with resistive strip and layer topologies
J. Galan, D. Attie, A. Chaus +8
The use of resistive technologies to MPGD detectors is taking advantage for many new applications, including high rate and energetic particle flux scenarios. The recent use of thes…
Ageing studies of resistive Micromegas detectors for the HL-LHC
J. Galan, D. Attie, E. Ferrer-Ribas +15
Resistive-anode Micromegas detectors are in development since several years, in an effort to solve the problem of sparks when working in high flux and high radiations environment l…
IAXO - The International Axion Observatory
J. K. Vogel, F. T. Avignone, G. Cantatore +61
The International Axion Observatory (IAXO) is a next generation axion helioscope aiming at a sensitivity to the axion-photon coupling of a few 10^{-12} GeV^{-1}, i.e. 1-1.5 orders…
