A high-Q microwave dielectric resonator for axion dark matter haloscopes
R. Di Vora, D. Alesini, C. Braggio +17
The frequency band 1-15 GHz provides exciting prospects for resonant axion haloscopes as indicated by cosmological and astrophysical arguments. Among the challenges currently addre…
Realization of a high quality factor resonator with hollow dielectric cylinders for axion searches
D. Alesini, C. Braggio, G. Carugno +18
The realization and characterization of a high quality factor resonator composed of two hollow-dielectric cylinders with its pseudo-TM mode resonating at 10.9 GHz frequency…
High quality factor photonic cavity for dark matter axion searches
D. Alesini, C. Braggio, G. Carugno +18
Searches for dark matter axion involve the use of microwave resonant cavities operating in a strong magnetic field. Detector sensitivity is directly related to the cavity quality f…
Galactic axions search with a superconducting resonant cavity
D. Alesini, C. Braggio, G. Carugno +22
To account for the dark matter content in our Universe, post-inflationary scenarios predict for the QCD axion a mass in the range $(10-10^3)\,μ\mbox{eV}$. Searches with haloscope e…
Intrinsic mirror noise in Fabry-Perot based polarimeters: the case for the measurement of vacuum magnetic birefringence
G. Zavattini, F. Della Valle, A. Ejlli +5
Although experimental efforts have been active for about 30 years now, a direct laboratory observation of vacuum magnetic birefringence, an effect due to vacuum fluctuations, still…
Searching for galactic axions through magnetized media: QUAX status report
G. Ruoso, D. Alesini, C. Braggio +15
The current status of the QUAX R\&D program is presented. QUAX is a feasibility study for a detection of axion as dark matter based on the coupling to the electrons. The relevant s…
SuperB Technical Design Report
SuperB Collaboration, M. Baszczyk, P. Dorosz +406
In this Technical Design Report (TDR) we describe the SuperB detector that was to be installed on the SuperB e+e- high luminosity collider. The SuperB asymmetric collider, which wa…
Exploring quantum vacuum with low-energy photons
E. Milotti, F. Della Valle, G. Zavattini +8
Although quantum mechanics (QM) and quantum field theory (QFT) are highly successful, the seemingly simplest state -- vacuum -- remains mysterious. While the LHC experiments are ex…
