New idea
- Saptarshi Chaudhuri (Princeton University)
Axion and Dark Photon (DP) have been considered as well-motivated dark matter candidates. Both hypothetical particles, if exist, are characterized by extremely feeble interactions with photons, rendering them suitable candidates for direct dark matter detection.
In this presentation, we introduce a new experimental strategy aimed at the detection of both axions and Dark Photons. This approach...
We plan to search for axion dark matter through their interactions with electron spins. Axion wind from the dark matter halo in our galaxy creates an effective magnetic field that induces quanta of collective electron spin wave excitations called magnons in ferromagnetic crystals like Yttrium Iron Garnet (YIG). We plan to observe these axion-induced magnons using a hybrid magnon - photon -...
