Rubidium transitions as wavelength reference for astronomical Doppler spectrographs

Dmytro Rogozin, Tobias Feger, Christian Schwab +10

Precise wavelength calibration is a critical issue for high-resolution spectroscopic observations. The ideal calibration source should be able to provide a very stable and dense gr…

Results from phase 1 of the HAYSTAC microwave cavity axion experiment

L. Zhong, S. Al Kenany, K. M. Backes +18

We report on the results from a search for dark matter axions with the HAYSTAC experiment using a microwave cavity detector at frequencies between 5.6-5.8. We exclude a…

Design and Operational Experience of a Microwave Cavity Axion Detector for the 20-100 micro-eV Range

S. Al Kenany, M. A. Anil, K. M. Backes +17

We describe a dark matter axion detector designed, constructed, and operated both as an innovation platform for new cavity and amplifier technologies and as a data pathfinder in th…

Future Directions in the Microwave Cavity Search for Dark Matter Axions

T. M. Shokair, J. Root, K. A. Van Bibber +9

The axion is a light pseudoscalar particle which suppresses CP-violating effects in strong interactions and also happens to be an excellent dark matter candidate. Axions constituti…

Stabilizing a Fabry-Perot etalon to 3 cm/s for spectrograph calibration

Christian Schwab, Julian Stuermer, Yulia V. Gurevich +4

We present a method of frequency stabilizing a broadband etalon that can serve as a high-precision wavelength calibrator for an Echelle spectrograph. Using a laser to probe the Dop…

Zeeman-tuned rotational level-crossing spectroscopy in a diatomic free radical

S. B. Cahn, J. Ammon, E. Kirilov +6

Rotational levels of molecular free radicals can be tuned to degeneracy using laboratory-scale magnetic fields. Because of their intrinsically narrow width, these level crossings o…
