Experiment Information | |
Location: | Mississippi State University, Hilbun Hall |
Type: | Light Shining Through a Wall Experiment (LSW) |
EM Source: | .7m, 50W continuous radio wave emitter |
Expected Run: | 1 year |
Physics Goal: | To place limits between the mass and coupling constant of axion like particles and para- photons. |
Mississippi State Axion Search is the first of its kind light shining through the wall experiment designed to operate using a continuous radio wave emitter as the source of photons. The experiment contains a radio source and a set of detectors separated by a wall. The aim of the experiment is to limit the mass and coupling constants of an axion like particle or a para photon by looking at the photons on the dark side of the tuned cavity. The experiment is projected to be completed by 2016.[1][2]
