Gaseous time projection chambers for rare event detection: Results from the T-REX project. I. Double beta decay
I. G. Irastorza, F. Aznar, J. Castel +13
As part of the T-REX project, a number of R&D and prototyping activities have been carried out during the last years to explore the applicability of gaseous Micromegas-read TPCs in…
Exploring 0.1-10eV axions with a new helioscope concept
J. Galán, T. Dafni, E. Ferrer-Ribas +9
We explore the possibility to develop a new axion helioscope type, sensitive to the higher axion mass region favored by axion models. We propose to use a low background large volum…
Low Background Micromegas in CAST
J. G. Garza, S. Aune, D. Calvet +22
Solar axions could be converted into x-rays inside the strong magnetic field of an axion helioscope, triggering the detection of this elusive particle. Low background x-ray detecto…
New solar axion search in CAST with He filling
M. Arik, S. Aune, K. Barth +60
The CERN Axion Solar Telescope (CAST) searches for conversion in the 9 T magnetic field of a refurbished LHC test magnet that can be directed toward the Sun. Two parallel m…
