The "First mechanical realization of a tunable dielectric haloscope for the MADMAX axion search experiment" is now available on arXiv:2407.10716

We tested the #piezoelectric #motor developed by JPE (https://lnkd.in/evRFTRrN) for the MADMAX experiment inside a strong magnetic field up to 1.6 T and at cryogenic temperatures down to 35K. The measurements of the velocity and positioning accuracy match the experimental requirements.

It's time to move ... on to the next challenge.

MADMAX Prototype Searches for Dark Photon Dark Matter with Thousand-fold Improvement

MADMAX (Magnetized Disc and Mirror Axion eXperiment) at University of Hamburg & DESY is being developed to look for Galactic axion dark matter using a dielectric boosted haloscope. Recently, the MADMAX Prototype experiment at the shielded laboratory hall SHELL produced its first science result by...

In this test beam, we tested various tuning configurations of a single CROC module to study in detail the calibration of the ToT response of individual pixels to the charge released by a MIP.
We then retested the first TEPX quad module for comparative measurements after performing some stress tests...
