Prospects for searching axionlike particle dark matter with dipole, toroidal, and wiggler magnets

In this work, we consider searches for dark matter made of axions or axionlike particles using resonant radio frequency cavities inserted into dipole magnets from particle accelerators, wiggler magnets developed for accelerator based advanced light sources, and toroidal magnets similar to those used...

Sumario:In this work, we consider searches for dark matter made of axions or axionlike particles using resonant radio frequency cavities inserted into dipole magnets from particle accelerators, wiggler magnets developed for accelerator based advanced light sources, and toroidal magnets similar to those used in particle-physics detectors. We investigate the expected sensitivity of such axionlike-particle dark matter detectors and discuss the engineering aspects of building and tuning them. Brief mention is also made of even stronger field magnets which are becoming available due to improvements in magnetic technology. It is concluded that new experiments utilizing already-existing magnets could greatly enlarge the mass region in searches for axionlike dark matter particles.
