We Know Very Little about Dark Matter
Dark Energy 68.3%
Ordinary Matter 4.9%
Dark Matter 26.8%
• Evidence of dark matter well established from astrophysical observations
• CMB power spectrum, rotation curves, gravitational lensing
• No evidence so far from laboratory experiments
• Local DM density ~ 0.45 GeV/cm3Matter/Energy Today

• Axion was proposed to solve the strong CP problem
• A pseudo-scalar particle (spin 0 with parity -1), low mass (10-12~10-2 eV)
• Could be produced with large quantity in the early universe
• Axion is a good dark matter candidate
• Stable, weakly interacting, and cold
• Axion could be detected via its two-photon coupling

Dark Matter and Axion
Static B field
RF photon
Laγγ = −gaγγφa E!"i B!"
Two free parameters: ma, gaγγ
For QCD axion models, these two parameters are related

• A strong magnetic field (B) and a high-Q cavity (E) to convert axions to photons
• Large volume of cavity to enhance the conversion probability
• Low-temperature environment to reduce the background thermal photon
• Small signal power→ low-noise quantum-limited amplifier
• 5 GHz single photon = 0.2 K

Basic Experimental Setup

Shin-Shan Eiko Yu
• Initial runs with existing magnet (8 Tesla, 3-inch bore) from Prof. Yung-Fu Chen’s lab
• Plan to procure a commercial system (likely 9 Tesla with 15-cm bore), providing ~ 5x better sensitivity

Shin-Shan Eiko Yu
• Pre-studies with HFSS
• Fabricated a single-frequency and a tunable cavity. Tested in the room temperature
• Initial measurement of Q was a factor of 3 lower, due to discontinuous/non-clean surface and mode crossing
• Reducing the height, polishing, silver plating, brazing, chemical cleaning + H firing, additional 9 cavities are produced for testing
• Investigating multi-cell cavities so to enhance effective volume

• We are looking for axion with a mass of ~20 µeV using a haloscope.
• We have formed a team with diversified expertise in particle physics, RF cavity, and low-temperature solid state physics.
• With future improvements, we may constrain the QCD gaγγ
• Use of JPAs as the first-stage amplifiers → Tsys = 0.2 K (x3)
• Upgrade of the cryogenic system and the magnet → 9 Tesla (x1.125)
• Explore cavity ideas to increase effective volume and Q → (x10)

• Proposed to solve the strong CP problem —- Why is CP conserved in the strong interaction?
• the lack of neutron electric dipole moment: PRL 97, 131801 (2006)
• The Peccei-Quinn Solution
• Add a dynamic field, spontaneous broken and cancels any strong CP violation, resulting in a new pseudo-scalar particle, the Axion
