Solar axion search with the CAST experiment
CAST Collaboration, E. Arik, S. Aune +74
The CAST (CERN Axion Solar Telescope) experiment is searching for solar axions by their conversion into photons inside the magnet pipe of an LHC dipole. The analysis of the data re…
Ionization Quenching Factor Measurement of Helium 4
D. Santos, F. Mayet, O. Guillaudin +5
The ionization quenching factor (IQF) is defined as the fraction of energy released by a recoil in a medium through ionization compared with its total kinetic energy. At low energi…
Probing eV-scale axions with CAST
CAST Collaboration, E. Arik, S. Aune +70
We have searched for solar axions or other pseudoscalar particles that couple to two photons by using the CERN Axion Solar Telescope (CAST) setup. Whereas we previously have report…
Search for low Energy solar Axions with CAST
Giovanni Cantatore, E. Arik, S. Aune +77
We have started the development of a detector system, sensitive to single photons in the eV energy range, to be suitably coupled to one of the CAST magnet ports. This system should…
A novel large-volume Spherical Detector with Proportional Amplification read-out
I. Giomataris, I. Irastorza, I. Savvidis +11
A new type of radiation detector based on a spherical geometry is presented. The detector consists of a large spherical gas volume with a central electrode forming a radial electri…
