/ Melcón, Alejandro Álvarez (Cartagena Politecnica U.) ; Cuendis, Sergio Arguedas (CERN) ; Cogollos, Cristian (Zaragoza U.) ; Díaz-Morcillo, Alejandro (Cartagena Politecnica U.) ; Döbrich, Babette (CERN) ; Gallego, Juan Daniel (Yebes Astron. Ctr.) ; Gimeno, Benito (GACE-ICMUV) ; Irastorza, Igor G. (Zaragoza U.) ; Lozano-Guerrero, Antonio José (Cartagena Politecnica U.) ; Malbrunot, Chloé (CERN) et al.
We propose, design and construct a variant of the conventional axion haloscope concept that could be competitive in the search for dark matter axions of masses in the decade 10-100 $\mu$eV. Theses masses are located somewhat above the mass range in which existing experiments have reached sensitivity to benchmark QCD axion models. [...]

Design of New Resonant Haloscopes in the Search for the Dark Matter Axion: A Review of the First Steps in the RADES Collaboration
/ Díaz-Morcillo, Alejandro (Cartagena Politecnica U.) ; Barceló, José María García (Cartagena Politecnica U.) ; Guerrero, Antonio José Lozano (Cartagena Politecnica U.) ; Navarro, Pablo (Cartagena Politecnica U.) ; Gimeno, Benito (Valencia U., IFIC) ; Cuendis, Sergio Arguedas (CERN) ; Melcón, Alejandro Álvarez (Cartagena Politecnica U.) ; Cogollos, Cristian (Barcelona, IEEC) ; Calatroni, Sergio (CERN) ; Döbrich, Babette (CERN) et al.
Within the increasing interest in the dark matter axion detection through haloscopes, in which different international groups are currently involved, the RADES group was established in 2016 with the goal of developing very sensitive detection systems to be operated in dipole magnets. This review deals with the work developed by this collaboration during its first five years, from the first designs, based on the multi-cavity concept, aiming to increase the haloscope volume and, so, to improve its sensitivity, their evolution, the data acquisition design, and, finally, the first experimental run.

On the use of ferroelectric material in the detection of dark matter axions

(Cartagena Politecnica U.) ; Wuensch, W. (CERN)
Tuning is an essential requirement for the search of dark matter axions employing haloscopes since its mass is not known yet to the scientific community. At the present day, most haloscope tuning systems are based on mechanical devices which can lead to failures due to the complexity of the environment in which they are used. [...]

In the near future BabyIAXO will be the most powerful axion helioscope, relying on a custom-made magnet of two bores of 70 cm diameter and 10 m long, with a total available magnetic volume of more than 7 m$^3$. In this document, we propose and describe the implementation of low-frequency axion haloscope setups suitable for operation inside the BabyIAXO magnet. [...]
