A first proof of principle booster setup for the MADMAX dielectric haloscope
Jacob Egge, Stefan Knirck, Béla Majorovits +2
Axions and axion-like particles are excellent low-mass dark matter candidates. The MADMAX experiment aims to directly detect galactic axions with masses between and…

A First Look on 3D Effects in Open Axion Haloscopes
Stefan Knirck, Jan Schütte-Engel, Alexander J. Millar +4
We explore finite size 3D effects in open axion haloscopes such as a dish antenna, a dielectric disk and a minimal dielectric haloscope consisting of a mirror and one dielectric di…

MADMAX: A new way of probing QCD Axion Dark Matter with a Dielectric Haloscope -- Foundations
Stefan Knirck
In contrast to WIMPs, light Dark Matter candidates have increasingly come under the focus of scientific interest. In particular the QCD axion is also able to solve other fundamenta…
