Description
Axions are considered the most favored solution for explaining both the strong-CP problem and the dark matter mystery. Many experimental searches that rely on the axion-photon conversion under strong magnetic fields utilize the haloscope technique that is sensitive in the microwave region. We, the Center for Axion and Precision Physics Research (CAPP) of the Institute for Basic Science (IBS), have been exploring axion physics in various frequency ranges. In particular, an experiment with a 12T superconducting solenoid, a high-cooling power dilution refrigerator, and quantum-noise-limited devices enable us to achieve unprecedented experimental sensitivities, probing the DFSZ axion model above 1 GHz. We are also developing state-of-the-art technologies in a variety of areas to enhance performance over a wider frequency range. In this presentation, the current status of axion search experiments and R&D activities at IBS-CAPP will be introduced, and future prospects will be discussed.
