In February and March this year, the two new prototypes of MADMAX have come into action to collect physics data at room temperature and, for the first time, at close to liquid helium temperature. The collected data is currently being analysed and might offer a big step on the search for axions, a leading candidate for dark matter.

First testbeam of the year

Last week we had our first testbeam of the year. This time, we took data in area T24 of the DESY II test beam facility to test Low Gain Avalanch Diodes (LGADs) at different voltages and under different beam incidence angles.
