Searching for GUT-scale QCD axions and monopoles with a high-voltage capacitor

ME Tobar, AV Sokolov, A Ringwald, M Goryachev - Physical Review D, 2023 - APS
The QCD axion has been postulated to exist because it solves the strong-CP problem.
Furthermore, if it exists axions should be created in the early Universe and could account for …

Non-standard axion electrodynamics and the dual Witten effect

B Heidenreich, J McNamara, M Reece - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2024 - Springer
A bstract Standard axion electrodynamics has two closely related features. First, the
coupling of a massless axion field to photons is quantized, in units proportional to the …

Solutions to axion electromagnetodynamics and new search strategies of sub-μeV axion

T Li, RJ Zhang, CJ Dai - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023 - Springer
A bstract The Witten effect implies the electromagnetic interactions between axions and
magnetic monopoles, and the quantum electromagnetodynamics (QEMD) properly …

Searching for low-mass axions using resonant upconversion

CA Thomson, M Goryachev, BT McAllister, EN Ivanov… - Physical Review D, 2023 - APS
We present new results of a room temperature resonant AC haloscope, which searches for
axions via photon upconversion. Traditional haloscopes require a strong applied DC …

Comparing instrument spectral sensitivity of dissimilar electromagnetic haloscopes to axion dark matter and high frequency gravitational waves

ME Tobar, CA Thomson, WM Campbell, A Quiskamp… - Symmetry, 2022 - mdpi.com
It is known that haloscopes that search for dark matter axions via the axion-photon anomaly
are also sensitive to gravitational radiation through the inverse Gertsenshtein effect …

Sensitivity of resonant axion haloscopes to quantum electromagnetodynamics

ME Tobar, CA Thomson, BT McAllister… - Annalen der …, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
Recently, interactions between putative axions and magnetic monopoles have been
revisited by two of the authors. 1 It is shown that significant modifications to conventional …

Quadratic coupling of the axion to photons

C Beadle, SAR Ellis, J Quevillon, PNH Vuong - Physical Review D, 2024 - APS
We show that the QCD axion couples to the electromagnetic kinetic term at one loop. The
result is that if axions make up dark matter, they induce temporal variation of the fine …

Detecting axion dark matter with Rydberg atoms via induced electric dipole transitions

G Engelhardt, A Bhoonah, WV Liu - Physical Review Research, 2024 - APS
Long-standing efforts to detect axions are driven by two compelling prospects, naturally
accounting for the absence of charge-conjugation and parity symmetry breaking in quantum …
