Abstract: We propose a superconducting single-mode microwave haloscope based on helical cavity resonators for the detection of ultralight dark matter axions over the mass range $10^{-18}$ to $10^{-13}\,\mathrm{eV}$. Building on the single-mode helical-cavity concept introduced by Bourhill et al. [Phys. Rev. D 108, 052014 (2023); arXiv:2208.01640], we use an inverse-design framework to develop practical resonator geometries compatible with superconducting niobium fabrication. The optimisation employs a figure of merit derived to minimise the measurement time required to achieve a fixed experimental sensitivity. Relative to the heuristic M\"obius-geometry benchmark, the best subtractively manufacturable bulk-niobium design achieves a figure of merit more than three orders of magnitude larger. An experimentally informed microwave interferometric readout model, incorporating measured electronics noise and active suppression of pump amplitude noise, is used to project the sensitivity of the proposed experiment. For an acquisition time of three months, the haloscope is projected to reach $g_{a\gamma\gamma}<10^{-11}\,\mathrm{GeV}^{-1}$ across more than four orders of magnitude in axion mass. The projected sensitivity extends approximately one order of magnitude below the current exclusion limits set by CAST, providing a practical pathway towards a high-sensitivity direct search for ultralight dark matter axions.

The Netherlands’ 🇳🇱 entry for #Eurovision 2023 was “Burning Daylight” by Mia Nicolai and Dion Cooper. Maybe it’s because it’s not the usual kitschy Eurovision song why I like it a lot (and why it wasn’t in the final), but it actually reminds me of “Arcade” by Duncan Laurenc…

Man muss Lanz nicht mögen. Gestern Abend hatte Manfred Weber (CSU) jedenfalls kein leichtes Spiel.
Es ging hauptsächlich um den Iran-Krieg und am Ende noch um unsere Automobilindustrie. Weber wirkt völlig planlos.
