The Search for the Axion-Like Particles with Two Radio-Frequency Cavities

Abstract

We address the radio frequency (RF) cavity experiment for probing dark photons which is a modification of the light-shining-through-thin-wall (LSthinW) setup with a relatively thin conducting barrier between cylindrical emitter and hollow receiver. The regarding experimental facility allows to probe dark photons effectively even in the off-shell regime, i. e. when dark photons mass exceeds the driven frequency of the emitter cavity, that is pumped by electromagnetic mode. We compare the sensitivity of two concrete setup configurations: two cylindrical cavities placed to each other by an end-caps, and nested geometry of the cavities in which the cylindrical receiver is encapsulated into the emitter. We show that for a certain range of dark photon mass the nested configuration can provide an enhanced sensitivity if one compares that with a separated emitter setup.
