Lino Miceli Presenting for the CAST Collaboration and external collaborators
In 2016, the CAST-CAPP/IBS Detector, a joint effort between the CERN Axion Solar Telescope (CAST) collaboration [1] and the Center for Axion and Precision Physics Research (CAPP/IBS) [2], demonstrated for the first time that a cold DM axion search with the haloscope [3] technique is feasible in a large dipole...

The CAST (Cern Axion Solar Telescope) experiment has been looking at the Sun for more than a decade now in its quest of observing a signal coming from the conversion of the axions in the telescope's magnetic field. Such a signal has not been observed thus allowing the collaboration to set only an upper limit to the axion - photon coupling constant in the parameter space. The final results will...

Streaming axion DM may be the better source for their discovery than the isotropic DM. Because, a large flux enhancement can take place, temporally, due to gravitational lensing when the Sun and/or a planet are aligned with the stream. Of interest are axion miniclusters, in particular, if the solar system has trapped one during its formation. Wide-band axion antennae fit this concept, but...
