Description
Cavity haloscopes remain the most sensitive approach for searching for
axion dark matter, utilizing resonant microwave cavities in strong
magnetic fields to detect axion-induced photons.The Center for Axion and Precision Physics Research (CAPP) has
established a world-class experimental facility to advance this
technique in Korea.Building on this foundation, the Dark Matter Axion Group (DMAG)
continues and expands this legacy by leveraging cutting-edge
technologies--including multiple magnet/cryogenic systems, high-Q
tunable microwave resonators, and quantum-limited amplifiers such as
JPAs.With these capabilities, CAPP/DMAG is among the few programs capable
of probing the theoretically favored axion-photon coupling parameter
space.This talk will present the current status of DMAG’s haloscope
experiments and outline future plans to accelerate the search for
axion dark matter.
