Abstract

A search experiment has been carried out to look for relic cosmic axions trapped in the halo of our Galaxy and limits on their coupling ${g}_{a\ensuremath{\gamma}\ensuremath{\gamma}}$ and galactic abundance are presented for the axion mass range of ${m}_{a}=(5.4\ensuremath{-}5.9)\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}{10}^{\ensuremath{-}6}$ eV. The detector consisted of a tunable high-$Q$ microwave cavity immersed in liquid helium and permeated by a strong magnetic field. A low-noise microwave receiver with a cryogenic HEMT amplifier as its first stage was coupled to the cavity. The noise power within successive cavity bandwidths was spectrum analyzed and searched for narrow peaks resulting from axion-to-photon conversions in the cavity.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
