“…Constraining Galactic Dark Photons through Diurnal Modulation Analysis -We now embark on a search for the diurnal modulation of signals stemming from galactic dark photons, leveraging data from a previous DPDM search employing a single-cell elliptical niobium SRF cavity [32]. The cavity was equipped with a frequency tuning mechanism [79,80] and an amplifier circuit, and maintained in liquid helium at a temperature of approximately 2 K. The experimental platform [81][82][83][84][85][86] facilitated the calibration of relevant parameters, including the loaded quality factor Q L , coupling factor β, net amplification factor G net , and the resonant frequency of the TM 010 mode, centered around ω 0 ≈ 2π1.3 GHz, along with its stability range for each scanning process. Each scan step was approximately 5 minutes, with 100 seconds dedicated to data acquisi- In our analysis, only the received power at the resonant frequency bin with a bandwidth of 2π11.5 Hz [32], denoted by P i for the i-th step, was considered.…”
