The particles composing the dark matter are thought to be distributed in haloes around the galaxies and then, they can be detected on Earth-based very sensitive instruments if they couple to normal matter other than gravitationally. Direct dark matter searches sensitivity has been steadily improving for about forty years, profiting from the development of new detection strategies, application...

26. DALI: A Novel Magnetized Phased Array Haloscope for Axion Dark Matter Searches

Dr Antonios Gardikiotis (Institute of Quantum Computing and Quantum Technology, NCSR “Demokritos”, Athens, Greece)

DALI (Dark-photons & Axion-Like particles Interferometer) is a next-generation haloscope experiment targeting the 25–250 μeV mass range in the search for axion dark matter. It introduces a novel experimental approach based on a magnetized phased array (MPA) architecture and a tunable resonator, offering significant advantages over conventional designs.
This presentation will outline the DALI...

80. A High-Energy Neutrino Detection with KM3NeT

Irene Di Palma (Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics (Albert Einstein Institute))

The KM3NeT experiment, a next-generation neutrino observatory under construction in the depths of the Mediterranean Sea, aims to reveal the mysteries of the high-energy Universe by detecting neutrinos originating from astrophysical sources. In this talk, we present the observation of a high-energy neutrino event recorded by the KM3NeT detector, marking a significant milestone in its scientific...

79. Dark Matter Axion Search with the HAYSTAC Experiment

Reina Heeger Maruyama

Astrophysical observations give overwhelming evidence for the existence of dark matter, and yet we know little about what they might be. Axion is a compelling candidate, as it also provides a solution to the strong CP problem in quantum chromodynamics (QCD) as proposed by Peccei & Quinn. I will present the results from the Haloscope at Yale Sensitive to Axion CDM (HAYSTAC) experiment, which...
