The Gammev Suite of Experimental Searches for Axion-like Particles
We report on the design and results of the GammeV search for axion-like particles and for chameleon particles. We also discuss plans for an improved experiment to search for chameleon particles, one which is sensitive to both cosmological and power-law chameleon models. Plans for an improved axion-like particle search using coupled resonant cavities are also presented. This experiment will be m...
متن کاملAxion Searches with Helioscopes and astrophysical signatures for axion(-like) particles
Axions should be produced copiously in Stars such as the Sun. The first part of the article reviews the capabilities and performance of axion helioscopes. The mechanism they rely on is described and the achieved experimental results for the interaction of solar axions and axion-like particles with matter are given. The second part is observationally driven. New results obtained with Monte Carlo...
متن کاملAxion Searches
The strong CP problem and its resolution through the existence of an axion are briefly reviewed. The constraints on the axion from accelerator searches, from the evolution of red giants and from supernova SN1987a combine to require ma < 3 · 10 −3 eV, where ma is the axion mass. On the other hand, the constraint that axions do not overclose the universe implies ma > ∼ 10 eV. If ma ∼ 10 −5 eV, ax...
متن کاملFuture axion searches with the International Axion Observatory (IAXO)
The International Axion Observatory (IAXO) is a new generation axion helioscope aiming at a sensitivity to the axion-photon coupling of gaγ & few×10−12 GeV−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 an increased magnetic field volume together with extensive use of x-ray focusing optics and low b...
متن کاملThe Need for Purely Laboratory-Based Axion-Like Particle Searches
Abstract The PVLAS signal has led to the proposal of many experiments searching for light bosons coupled to photons. The coupling strength probed by these near future searches is, however, far from the allowed region, if astrophysical bounds apply. But the environmental conditions for the production of axion-like particles in stars are very different from those present in laboratories. We consi...
