Experimental Search for Hidden Photon CDM in the eV mass range with a Dish Antenna
نویسندگان
چکیده
A search for hidden photon cold dark matter (HP CDM) using a new technique with a dish antenna is reported. From the result of the measurement, we found no evidence for the existence of HP CDM and set an upper limit on the photon-HP mixing parameter χ of ∼ 6× 10−12 for the hidden photon mass mγ = 3.1± 1.2 eV. ar X iv :1 50 4. 00 11 8v 1 [ he pex ] 1 A pr 2 01 5

On search for eV hidden sector photons in Super-Kamiokande and CAST experiments
If light hidden sector photons (γs) exist, they could be produced through kinetic mixing with solar photons in the eV energy range. We propose to search for this hypothetical γ-flux with the Super-Kamiokande and/or upgraded CAST detectors. The proposed experiments are sensitive to the γ − γ mixing strength as small as 10 & χ & 10 for the γ mass region 10 . mγ′ . 10 −1 eV and, in the case of non...
متن کاملSearching for WISPy Cold Dark Matter with a Dish Antenna
The cold dark matter of the Universe may be comprised of very light and very weakly interacting particles, so-called WISPs. Two prominent examples are hidden photons and axion-like particles. In this note we propose a new technique to sensitively search for this type of dark matter with dish antennas. The technique is broadband and allows to explore a whole range of masses in a single measureme...
متن کاملOn search for hidden sector photons in Super-Kamiokande
If hidden sector photons(γ) exist, they could be produced through oscillations of photons emitted by the Sun. We show that a search for these particles could be performed in Super-Kamiokande due to the presence in this detector of a large number of photomultiplier’s (PMTs) with a relatively low noise and big size. The γs would penetrate the Earth shielding and would be detected by PMTs through ...
متن کاملA Cavity Experiment to Search for Hidden Sector Photons
We propose a cavity experiment to search for low mass extra U(1) gauge bosons with gaugekinetic mixing with the ordinary photon, so-called paraphotons. The setup consists of two microwave cavities shielded from each other. In one cavity, paraphotons are produced via photon-paraphoton oscillations. The second, resonant, cavity is then driven by the paraphotons that permeate the shielding and rec...
متن کاملQuantum mechanical proton range in human body
Introduction: Proton therapy delivers radiation to tumor tissue in a much more confined way than conventional photon therapy thus allowing the radiation oncologist to use a greater dose while still minimizing side. Materials and Methods: protons release most of their energy within the tumor region. As a result, the treating physician can potentially give an...
