“…• cavity volume independence. Although cavity volume influences many parameters of the experiment such as resonance frequencies and quality factors, the sensitivity is not directly proportional to this parameter unlike in traditional haloscopes 11,[45][46][47][48] . This removes the major obstacle for higher mass (f a >10GHz) axion searches.…”

We investigate a new class of galactic halo axion detection techniques based on precision frequency and phase metrology. Employing equations of axion electrodynamics, it is demonstrated how a dual mode cavity exhibits linear mode-mode coupling mediated by the axion upconversion and axion downconversion processes. The approach demonstrates phase sensitivity with an ability to detect axion phase with respect to externally pumped signals. Axion signal to phase spectral density conversion is calculated for open and closed loop detection schemes. The fundamental limits of the proposed approach come from the precision of frequency and environment control electronics, rather than fundamental thermal fluctuations allowing for table-top experiments approaching state-of-the-art cryogenic axion searches in sensitivity. Practical realisations are considered, including a TE-TM mode pair in a cylindrical cavity resonator and two orthogonally polarised modes in a Fabry-Pérot cavity.

“…Making this size of cavities is the most difficult part. There are several ideas in this direction, (i) placing the detector vertically at the geometric center of the toroidal magnet [162], (ii) designing with multiple sheets of dielectric material [163], (iii) placing multiple cavities inside the same magnetic field [164,165], and (iv) designing pizza-cylinder cavities [166].…”

Pseudoscalars appearing in particle physics are reviewd systematically. From the fundamental point of view at an ultra-violat completed theory, they can be light if they are realized as pseudo-Goldstone bosons of some spontaneously broken global symmetries. The spontaneous breaking scale is parametrized by the decay constant f . The global symmetry is defined by the lowest order terms allowed in the effective theory consistent with the gauge symmetry in question. Since any global symmetry is known to be broken at least by quantum gravitational effects, all pseudoscalars should be massive. The mass scale is determined by f and the explicit breaking terms ∆V in the effective potential and also anomaly terms ∆Λ 4 G for some non-Abelian gauge groups G. The well-known example by non-Abelian gauge group breaking is the potential for the "invisible" QCD axion, via the Peccei-Quinn symmetry, which constitutes a major part of this review. Even if there is no breaking terms from gauge anomalies, there can be explicit breaking terms ∆V in the potential in which case the leading term suppressed by f determines the pseudoscalar mass scale. If the breaking term is extremely small and the decay constant is trans-Planckian, the corresponding pseudoscalar can be a candidate for a 'quintessential axion'. In general, (∆V ) 1/4 is considered to be smaller than f , and hence the pseudo-Goldstone boson mass scales are considered to be smaller than the decay constants. In such a case, the potential of the pseudo-Goldstone boson at the grand unification scale is sufficiently flat near the top of the potential that it can be a good candidate for an inflationary model, which is known as 'natural inflation'. We review all these ideas in the bosonic collective motion framework.

“…An axion in the parameter range of 10 11 GeV ≤ f a ≤ 10 13 GeV is potentially observable using microwave cavity resonators, where f a is the global symmetry breakdown scale [9][10][11][12]. This method detects photons from the axion dark matter conversion in the presence of strong magnetic fields [10,[13][14][15][16]. In the next decade, it is expected that the axion frequency range of 0.1-50 GHz may be covered using microwave cavity and/or open cavity resonators [17].…”

We propose using the storage ring electric dipole moment (EDM) method to search for the axion dark matter induced EDM oscillation in nucleons. The method uses a combination of B and E fields to produce a resonance between the g − 2 spin precession frequency and the background axion field oscillation to greatly enhance sensitivity to it. An axion frequency range from 10 −9 Hz to 100 MHz can, in principle, be scanned with high sensitivity, corresponding to an f a range of 10 13 GeV ≤ f a ≤ 10 30 GeV, the breakdown scale of the global symmetry generating the axion or axionlike particles.
