Hypothetical axion-like particles with a two-photon interaction would be produced in the sun by the Primakoff process. In a laboratory magnetic field they would be transformed into X-rays with...
Giomataris, Ioanis, De Oliveira, R, Andriamonje, Samuel A, Aune, S, Charpak, Georges, Colas, P, ...
In this paper we present a novel way to manufacture the bulk Micromegas detector. A simple process based on the PCB (Printed Circuit Board) technology is employed to produce the entire sensitive...
First results from the CERN Axion Solar Telescope (CAST) (2004)
Andriamonje, Samuel A, Arsov, V, Aune, S, Autiero, D, Barth, K, Belov, A, ...
Hypothetical axion-like particles with a two-photon interaction would be produced in the Sun by the Primakoff process. In a laboratory magnetic field (``axion helioscope'') they would be transformed...
Axion searches at CERN with the CAST Telescope (2003)
Eleftheriadis, C, Andriamonje, Samuel A, Arik, E, Autiero, D, Avignone, F T, Barth, K, ...
The CERN Axion Solar Telescope (CAST) searches for axions coming from photon to axion conversion in the sun's core, as stated by the Primakoff effect. Axions arise in particle physics as a...
