Description
The axion, a hypothetical elementary particle arising from Peccei-Quinn solution to the strong-CP problem, is a well-motivated dark matter candidate. The IBS Center for Axion and Precision Physics (CAPP) in Korea will explore the dark matter axion using a method suggested by P. Sikivie, converting the axions into microwave photons in a resonant cavity permeated by a strong magnetic field. CAPP’s first microwave axion experiment in an ultra-low temperature setup is being launched at KAIST (Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology) campus this summer, utilizing top of the line equipment and technology. I will discuss the progress and future plans of the axion experiment.
