Characterization of a medium size Xe/TMA TPC instrumented with microbulk Micromegas, using low-energy -rays
The NEXT collaboration, V. Alvarez, F. I. G. M. Borges +87
NEXT-MM is a general-purpose high pressure (10 bar, l active volume) Xenon-based TPC, read out in charge mode with an 8 cm 8 cm-segmented 700 cm plane (1152 ch…
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…
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…
CAST constraints on the axion-electron coupling
K. Barth, A. Belov, B. Beltran +53
In non-hadronic axion models, which have a tree-level axion-electron interaction, the Sun produces a strong axion flux by bremsstrahlung, Compton scattering, and axio-recombination…
