Description

This is the annual Science Day of the Research Unit B (Particles & Cosmos) and the Detector Hub of the ORIGINS Excellence Cluster.

Sessions will include introduction and overview talks of RU-B and the D-Hub from our leadership, as well as exciting invited talks on theoretical physics, neutrino physics and dark matter!

This year we will also include an afternoon session for contributed talks. If you would like to contribute, please provide a summary during the registration process.

Snacks and coffee will be provided during the coffee break; participants are encouraged to go to the Mensa or Cafe Novumon (formerly Herr Lichtenberg) for lunch.

        RADES (Relic Axion Detection Exploratory Setup) 15m

        RADES (Relic Axion Detection Exploratory Setup) is a haloscope experiment designed to search for axions originating from the local dark matter galactic halo in the μeV mass range, under the assumption that dark matter is entirely composed of axions. The detection technique relies on a resonant cavity placed inside a strong magnetic field, which enhances the conversion of axions into detectable photons. The collaboration has achieved significant progress regarding the development of new cavity geometries, leading to two physics results at axion masses around 30 μeV. An innovative RADES setup incorporating transmon qubits is currently being developed within the collaboration. This talk focuses on the activities at MPP. To maximise the signal-to-noise ratio, the experiment operates at cryogenic temperatures using a dilution refrigerator that can reach temperatures below 10 mK. At these extremely low temperatures, superconducting devices such as transmon qubits can be employed as single-photon detectors to further improve signal sensitivity.
