Research and Development of an Axion Detector with Student Involvement

小行星9501959 在NSF教师早期中心（CAREER）计划下，为马萨诸塞州理工学院的一名初级教师提供研究和教学支持。 私家侦探将介绍一个创新的实验室课程，学生将被介绍给前沿的实验技术和仪器，用于研究各种材料中的超导现象。 他的研究项目是寻找AXIONS存在的证据。 这些假设的粒子是宇宙中失踪的暗物质的候选者，这是一个非常有趣的主题。 该实验已经在劳伦斯利弗莫尔国家实验室（LLNL）的设置阶段，是来自LLNL，佛罗里达大学，加州大学和费米实验室的物理学家的合作努力。 他们期望实现比先前实验大100倍的功率灵敏度，质量范围扩展到1.5 ueV - 12.6 ueV范围。 ***

9501959 Rosenberg Support is provided to a junior member of the faculty at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for research and teaching under the NSF Faculty Early Center (CAREER) Program. The P.I. will introduce an innovative laboratory course in which students will be introduced to forefront experimental technique and instrumentation to be used in studying superconductivity phenomena in various materials. His research project is a search for evidence that AXIONS exist. These hypothesized particles are candidates for the missing, dark, matter in the universe, a subject of intense interest. The experiment, already in the setup stage at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) is a collaborative effort with physicists from LLNL, University of Florida, University of California, and Fermilab. They expect to achieve a power sensitivity 100 times greater than that in previous experiments with a mass reach extended to the 1.5 ueV - 12.6 ueV range. ***
