Research and Development of an Axion Detector with Student Involvement

9501959罗森博格支持麻省理工学院的一名初级教员在国家科学基金会教师早期中心(职业)计划下进行研究和教学。P.I.将引入一门创新的实验室课程，向学生介绍用于研究各种材料超导现象的前沿实验技术和仪器。他的研究项目是寻找轴子存在的证据。这些假想的粒子是宇宙中失踪的暗物质的候选者，这是一个令人强烈感兴趣的话题。这项实验已经在劳伦斯利弗莫尔国家实验室(LLNL)的建立阶段，是LLNL、佛罗里达大学、加州大学和费米实验室的物理学家共同努力的成果。他们预计，在质量覆盖范围扩展到1.5ueV-12.6ueV的情况下，功率灵敏度将比之前的实验高100倍。***

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. ***
