Sam Witte (University Of Valencia) “Indirect Searches for Axion Dark Matter Using Radio Telescopes”

Seminar Organizer


Event Details


Abstract: In this talk I will discuss recent proposals to indirectly search for axion dark matter using radio telescopes. After reviewing the properties and expectations of axion dark matter, I will present a comparison between three distinct methods: non-resonant axion-photon conversion in large scale magnetic fields, resonant axion-photon conversion in the magnetospheres of neutron stars, and the simulated decay of the axion to two photons.
