Abstract

This paper presents the first search for dark matter axions with mass in the ranges 76.56 to 76.82 $\mu$eV and 79.31 to 79.53 $\mu$eV using a prototype setup for the MAgnetized Disk and Mirror Axion eXperiment (MADMAX). The experimental setup employs a dielectric haloscope consisting of three sapphire disks and a mirror to resonantly enhance the axion-induced microwave signal within the magnetic dipole field provided by the 1.6 T Morpurgo magnet at CERN. Over 14.5 days of data collection, no axion signal was detected. A 95% CL upper limit on the axion-photon coupling strength down to $|g_{a\gamma}| \sim 2 \times 10^{-11} \mathrm{GeV}^{-1}$ is set in the targeted mass ranges, surpassing previous constraints, assuming a local axion dark matter density $\rho_{a}$ of $0.3~\mathrm{GeV}/\mathrm{cm}^3$. This study marks the first axion dark matter search using a dielectric haloscope.

利用 Madmax 原型机首次寻找轴心暗物质

本文介绍了利用 "磁盘和镜子轴子实验"（MADMAX）原型装置首次搜索质量在76.56到76.82和79.31到79.53之间的暗物质轴子的情况。实验装置采用了一个由三个蓝宝石盘和一面镜子组成的介质卤化镜，在欧洲核子研究中心1.6 T Morpurgo磁铁提供的磁偶极子场内共振增强轴心诱导的微波信号。轴子-光子耦合强度的95% CL上限低至$|g_{a\gamma}| \sim 2\times 10^{-11}\在目标质量范围内，假定本地轴心暗物质密度为0.3~\mathrm{GeV}/\mathrm{cm}^3$，则设定了超越先前约束的 "mathrm{GeV}^{-1}$"。这项研究标志着首次使用介电卤化镜搜索轴心暗物质。
