Overview and design optimization of a custom hybrid X-ray telescope for the International Axion Observatory (IAXO)
Yue Yu, Jooyun Woo, Ipek Altunyurt +34
We present the design optimization for maximizing the effective area of a custom X-ray optic for the International Axion Observatory (IAXO) and BabyIAXO, including its novel hybrid…
Benchmarking Dark Matter Search using a Parity-Check Protocol with Machine-Learning Optimized Pulses
Yu-Han Chang, Ilya Moskalenko, Marko KuzmanoviÄ +7
We report on an improved microwave detection protocol for dark matter candidates such as the axion and the dark photon. We employ a superconducting transmon qubit dispersively coup…
Improvement and assessment of the radiopurity of Micromegas readout planes
Juan Castel, Susana Cebrian, Theopisti Dafni +17
Micromesh Gas Structures (Micromegas) as readout of gaseous Time Projection Chambers (TPCs) are being considered in experiments investigating rare phenomena, like the nuclear doubl…
Muon tracking in a LiquidO opaque scintillator detector
LiquidO Collaboration, J. Apilluelo, L. Asquith +89
LiquidO is an innovative radiation detector concept. The core idea is to exploit stochastic light confinement in a highly scattering medium to self-segment the detector volume. In…
Low-energy threshold demonstration for dark matter searches in TREX-DM with an Ar source produced at CNA HiSPANoS
J. Castel, S. Cebrián, T. Dafni +16
We report on the successful implementation of an Ar calibration source in the TREX-DM detector, a high-pressure time projection chamber designed for low-mass dark matter sea…
NuSTAR as an Axion Helioscope
J. Ruz, E. Todarello, J. K. Vogel +11
We present a novel approach to investigating axions and axion-like particles (ALPs) by studying their potential conversion into X-rays within the Sun's atmospheric magnetic field.…
