A Way of Axion Detection with Mass $10^{-4} \text{-}10^{-3}$eV Using Cylindrical Sample with Low Electric Conductivity

Aiichi Iwazaki

Axions in the 10^{-4} to 10^{-3} eV mass range induce detectable bulk currents in large low-conductivity cylinders placed in strong magnetic fields.

Claims

C1strongest claim

The detection of dark matter axions in the mass range m_a = 10^{-4}-10^{-3} eV may be feasible using a cylindrical sample with low conductivity σ = 10^{-3} eV, radius R = 80 cm, and B_0 = 7 T, yielding SNR > 1 at T = 4 K.

C2weakest assumption

That a macroscopic cylinder of material with conductivity as low as σ = 10^{-3} eV can be fabricated and operated without additional noise sources (e.g., mechanical vibrations, electromagnetic interference) dominating the thermal noise assumed in the SNR formula.

C3one line summary

Proposes using low-conductivity cylindrical samples in strong B-fields to detect axion-induced bulk currents, with SNR estimates indicating feasibility for R=80 cm at 4 K.
