abstract

The CAST-CAPP axion haloscope, operating at CERN inside the CAST dipole magnet, has searched for axions in the 19.74 $\mu$eV to 22.47 $\mu$eV mass range. The detection concept follows the Sikivie haloscope principle, where Dark Matter axions convert into photons within a resonator immersed in a magnetic field. The CAST-CAPP resonator is an array of four individual rectangular cavities inserted in a strong dipole magnet, phase-matched to maximize the detection sensitivity. Here we report on the data acquired for 4124 h from 2019 to 2021. Each cavity is equipped with a fast frequency tuning mechanism of 10 MHz/min between 4.774 GHz and 5.434 GHz. In the present work, we exclude axion-photon couplings for virialized galactic axions down to $g_{a{\gamma}{\gamma}} = 8 \times {10^{-14}}$ $GeV^{-1}$ at the 90% confidence level. The here implemented phase-matching technique also allows for future large-scale upgrades.

  1. Abelian-Higgs vortices in the oscillating axion background

    hep-ph 2025-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Axion oscillations can resonantly amplify electric fields inside Abelian-Higgs vortex cores and induce attractive or repulsive forces between vortices, even in the BPS limit.

  2. Catalogues of Cosmologically Self-Consistent Hadronic QCD Axion Models

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Hadronic axion models with d=6 and d=7 heavy-quark decay operators can produce two new cosmologically viable 'islands' at f_a ~ 10^12 and 10^14 GeV, extending the post-inflationary axion search window.

  3. Axiverse Lampposts

    hep-ph 2026-02 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In a hierarchical multi-axion theory with random couplings, axion field ranges shrink with 1/sqrt(N), generic axion–SM couplings are suppressed, but the QCD axion's coupling is unsuppressed.

  4. Probing the axion-electron coupling at cavity experiments

    hep-ph 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Cavity walls radiate microwave photons when axion dark matter generates a chiral magnetic current at the conductor surface, turning existing haloscope data into a bound on the axion-electron coupling g_ae ≲ 10^-5.

  5. Exploration of new experimental strategies for the detection of ultralight dark matter : laboratory searches on ground and in space

    hep-ph 2024-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The thesis derives detailed theoretical sensitivities for several ultralight dark matter detection schemes, including a corrected dish-antenna model showing that focused power is much lower than previously assumed.
