The interaction with the electromagnetic field is the most exploited in haloscopes, detectors where axions are resonantly converted into photons in the presence of an intense magnetic field. Some models also predict interaction with electron spin, which can be probed using a ferrimagnetic haloscope. In this detector, hypothetical particles are converted into magnons in a material with specific...

42. Quantum heuristics for gravitational-wave detection: high-frequency sensitivity limits for current and near-future BSM searches

Paolo Bilisco (IPhT - Université Paris-Saclay)

LIGO, VIRGO and Kagra (to name just a few) represent outstanding feats of engineering that have launched us in a new era of gravitational-wave (GW) detection. Even so, we may wonder whether their sensitivity is enough to detect very high-frequency signals of BSM origin, such as those sourced by primordial stochastic GW backgrounds. In this talk, I will argue that the sensitivity of present-day...
