"Coaxial 'Dish' Antenna and BREAD Experiment: Innovations in Dark Matter Detection"
Originally Published 1 year ago — by Phys.org
The Broadband Reflector Experiment for Axion Detection (BREAD) collaboration, led by the University of Chicago and Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, has released its first results in the search for dark matter using a unique coaxial 'dish' antenna design. While they did not find dark matter, the experiment narrowed constraints for its potential location and demonstrated a cost-effective approach with high sensitivity. The experiment's compact design and broad frequency search may accelerate the search for dark matter, and future iterations will include stronger magnets to enhance sensitivity.
