Description
Latest lattice-QCD simulations predict dark matter axions with a mass around 100 μeV if the Peccei-Quinn symmetry was broken after cosmic inflation. This mass range, however, is hardly explored by the current experiments. This talk will introduce a novel traveling-wave-based detector, the dielectric haloscope, to increase sensitivity to the suggested mass range. The MADMAX collaboration aims to realize the novel concept. I will report the status of the MADMAX experiment, with a special focus on the hidden-photon search using a proof-of-principle dielectric haloscope.
