- This $190,000 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports the development of novel cavity haloscopes by researchers at Stanford University and the University of Washington to improve the scan rate of axion dark matter experiments by more than three orders of magnitude at frequencies between 4-7 GHz. The researchers will fabricate and test a full-sized science-grade cavity in an existing 250mK testbed to demonstrate...
- This $450,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports collaborative research to develop novel "haloscopes" that will significantly improve the search rate for axion dark matter experiments. Researchers at The Leland Stanford Junior University (Stanford University) aim to establish key preparations for future axion searches by designing geometries that decouple the resonant frequency and...
- This $210,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports collaborative research to develop novel "haloscopes" that will significantly improve the search rate for axion dark matter experiments. The research team from the University of Washington aims to establish key preparations for future large-scale axion dark matter searches by leveraging techniques from radio astronomy and cosmic microwave...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Physics awarded a $700,000 Project Grant to Yale University under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to support the HAYSTAC Axion Dark Matter Experiment - Phase III. This effort aims to detect the theorized axion particle, which could comprise the unobserved "dark matter" that accounts for the majority of the mass in the universe. Key activities include upgrading the HAYSTAC detector system to expand its...
- This Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), supports research to detect dark matter in the form of axions. The research, conducted by Yale University, aims to better understand the dominant form of matter in our galaxy and the universe. The project, named HAYSTAC (Haloscope at Yale Sensitive to Cold Dark Matter), involves slowly tuning a sensitive radio receiver to detect potential axion...
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $457,380 provides funding through July 2025 for the HAYSTAC Quantum Enhanced collaboration between the University of California, Berkeley and the University of Colorado. The award supports research seeking to discover the identity of dark matter through operation of one of the world's leading experiments searching for the hypothetical axion particle. UC Berkeley is responsible for research and development of tunable microwave cavities and...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $320,000 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) federal grant program to the University of California, Berkeley. The grant supports the HAYSTAC project, which is a leading experiment in the search for axions, a proposed candidate for dark matter. The research aims to slowly tune a receiver to detect very low-mass axion particles that could make up most of the galaxy's unseen dark matter. This fundamental scientific...
- The National Science Foundation awarded $421,862 under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) federal grant program to The Regents of the University of Colorado for the project titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: HAYSTAC QUANTUM ENHANCED." The University of California, Berkeley and the University of Colorado will work collaboratively on the HAYSTAC experiment from August 15, 2022 to July 31, 2025. The experiment seeks to discover dark matter through the detection of...
- This three-year, $449,837 National Science Foundation project grant funds the development of optomechanical dark matter detectors at the University of Arizona from November 2022 through October 2025. The award supports work under the NSF Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), which aims to advance scientific knowledge and understanding in these fields. Specifically, the project will join experimental and theoretical researchers to explore detection of ultralight "dark...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $300,000 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to The Leland Stanford Junior University (Stanford University) for the "Collaborative Research: Axion Resonant Interaction Detection Experiment (ARIADNE) - A Continuation Proposal". This grant aims to complete the setup and initiate data collection for the ARIADNE experiment, which uses nuclear magnetic resonance to detect potential axions - a proposed...
This $449,946 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program will support research at Stanford University and the University of Washington to develop a novel axion detector called a haloscope. The haloscope is expected to improve the scan rate of axion dark matter experiments by more than three orders of magnitude at frequencies between 4-7 GHz. Researchers will fabricate and test a full-sized science-grade cavity under cryogenic conditions in an existing 250 mK testbed. They will also integrate the cavities with a Josephson junction-based amplifier and digitizer to search for dark photons. This work establishes preparations for future large-scale axion searches and addresses key sensitivities in the 4-7 GHz range, corresponding to axion particle masses of a few tens of micro-electronvolts. The award also includes outreach and education programs.
