Description
The RADES (Relic Axion Detection Exploratory Setup) team originated in 2016 for the search of dark matter axions with haloscopes. Recently, the RADES collaboration has produced their most sensitive physics results for axion masses around 36.56 µeV. This team has made further research advances in topics such as the design of cylindrical (for operation at the MPP Bluefors system) and quasi-cylindrical (to be installed at the BabyIAXO magnet) cavities with mechanical tuning systems (for frequencies of the order of 8.2-9 GHz and 300 MHz, respectively), the use of high temperature superconducting coatings, or the implementation of quantum technologies for the improvement of haloscopes (quantum-limited detection) employing Superconducting QuBits (transmons). This talk gives a brief overview of these recent developments in the collaboration.
