Description
I will discuss two new experimental approaches to detect axions. The first, MAGPI, searches for an axion field produced by the Earth or a local test body by looking for the polarization rotation caused by the axion in RF light stored in a cavity. The second, GALILEO, looks for axions in the THz range by looking for the effects of the axion on the index of refraction of a non-linear optical crystal.
