Axion and hidden photon dark matter detection with multilayer optical haloscopes
Axion and hidden photon dark matter detection with multilayer optical haloscopes
A well-motivated class of dark matter candidates, including axions and dark photons, takes the form of coherent oscillations of a light bosonic field. If the dark matter couples to Standard Model states, it may be possible to detect it via absorptions in a laboratory target. Current experiments of this kind …
