Date/Time: Thu 2013-06-06 at 14:00

Location:  Auditorium          

Speaker:   Gray Rybka (University of Washington)

Title:     The Axion Dark Matter Experiment

Abstract: The axion is a dark matter candidate motivated by the CP symmetry of the strong force.  Dark matter axions are expected to have light masses and be detectable via their weak coupling to photons.  A newly upgraded Axion Dark Matter eXperiment (ADMX) is undergoing commissioning at the University of Washington, and will be sensitive to even the most pessimistically coupled dark matter axions.  I will speak about the design and construction of ADMX, the upcoming data taking, and plans to explore the entire range of plausible dark matter axion parameters.
