71. First Results from the LUX-ZEPLIN Dark Matter Experiment

Jim Dobson (King's College London)

The LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) experiment is a multi-tonne dark matter direct detection experiment operating 4850 feet underground at the Sanford Underground Research Facility in Lead, South Dakota. At the heart of LZ is a liquid xenon time projection chamber (TPC) with an active mass of 7 tonnes that will search for the low energy signatures from interactions with WIMP dark matter in our galactic halo...

92. Searches of Axions/ALPS with (Baby)IAXO

The InternaDonal Axion Observatory (IAXO) is a new generaDon axion helioscope aiming at a sensitivity to the axion-photon coupling of gaγ a few×10-12GeV-1, i.e. 1-1.5 orders of
magnitude beyond the one achieved by CAST, currently the most sensitive axion helioscope. The main elements of IAXO are a large superconducting toroidal magnet with eight bores, x-ray focusing optics and low background...

27. Search for KSVZ axion dark matter around 24.5 $\mu\mathrm{eV}$

Soohyung Lee (IBS-CAPP)

The axion is a well-motivated hypothetical particle resulting from the Peccei-Quinn mechanism, which is an elegant solution to the strong $CP$ problem of quantum chromodynamics. Because of its hypothetical abundance and weak coupling, it is also considered a promising candidate for dark matter, another big mystery of the universe. The Center for Axion and Precision Physics Research (CAPP) of...

64. Searches for daily modulations with the CAST-CAPP detector

Kaan Özbozduman (CERN)

7/3/23, 12:15 PM

Despite the overwhelming observational evidence, dark matter has so far been elusive to all experimental searches. As an example, haloscope experiments, which are the most sensitive ones, are focusing on narrow resonant searches while trying to minimize the noise and increase the signal power. However, a broadband approach might be the key to the discovery of the axion. Axion Quark Nuggets...
