Description
Axions are hypothetical particles introduced to solve the strong CP problem of the Standard Model. In addition axions can resolve the dark matter mystery. Axions with masses in the range of a few
tens of µeV up to a few hundreds of µeV are furthermore motivated by the scenario in which the Peccei-Quinn symmetry is broken after inflation.
This motivates the development of new techniques to become sensitive to this specific axion mass region, which cannot be explored with existing direct axion dark matter experiments.
One option is the dielectric haloscope, which utilizes dielectric media and a 10 T magnet to enhance the signal of photon converted axions. This talk will focus on the simulation of the MADMAX dielectric haloscope.
The MADMAX prototype experiment is expected to be operated at DESY 2019-2021.
