Multiple-Cell Cavity for High Mass Axion Dark Matter Search

Abstract

Haloscope axion dark matter search experiments typically consider arrays of multiple cavities to increase the detection volume in exploring high mass regions. We, IBS/CAPP at KAIST, introduce a new concept, multiple-cell cavity, which is superior to conventional multiple-cavity design in terms of detection volume, simplicity of the experimental setup, and facilitation of the phase-matching mechanism. This idea is promising for detecting high frequency axion dark matter with enhanced experimental sensitivities. We present the characteristics of this design and demonstrate the experimental feasibility using a double-cell cavity.
