  1. CAST The CernAxionSolar Telescope Κωνσταντίνος Ζιούτας, Τμήμα Φυσικής,Πανεπιστημίου Πατρών CERN, 16/11/2012

  2. Fritz Zwicky 1898 – 1974

  3. There is no Royal Way … to axions, chameleons,…, solar physics! • Euclid Ptolemy I -2300 http://sax.iasf-milano.inaf.it/Xashelp/index.html

  5. Πυρηνικές δυνάμεις  πρόβλημα  Νετρόνιο => ουδέτερο  +- Λύση: axion  σκοτεινή ύλη ( Big Bang),  Ήλιο >>> CAST  Εργαστήριο, π.χ., OSQAR / CERN

  6. Chameleons … to explain DE  Khoury + Weltman 2004 CHs: inspiring particles! Rigorous theory missing Higgs Search on a wide front for: solar-, lab-, cosmic - a/CHs Beyond Standard Model physics! Axions … to explain DM->…and more!? 2

  7. Sun: A perfectly shielded “radioactive” source of exotica Bsolaressential! ~106 years Visible light Random walk over L:  Conversion ~(BsolarL)2 Visible light .. truely LSW! ~2 sec ν’s Axions Chameleons Paraphotons ... WISPs mfpγthermal 1 km 1cm -3000km 0km - 4mm Rsurface | +more? Solar Axions: tachocline

  8. SUN: 5 Mtons / s of energy is released ~100 ktons~axions / s… … overlooked?! 10% http://www.solarviews.com/eng/sun.htm 6

  9. Corona … enigma…. 1939 …?? the coronal heating mechanism remains unknown! One of the most enduring problems in modern astrophysics is to explain: how the MK solar corona is created and sustained. Overlooked ~axions, ~Chameleons, … WISPs!? S.J. Bradshaw, J.A. Klimchuk, J.W.

  13. CERN Axion SolarTelescope + Chameleons the only moving telescope @ 1.8K Signal: excess of X-rays during alignment over background Pierre Sikivie 1983 Differential axion flux on Earth DetectionInverse Primakoff: axion interacting coherently with a strong magnetic field (~B2) converts to a photon Production:Primakoff effect Thermal photons interacting with solar nuclei produce Axions.

  20. Transparent windows • Nanotubes material : base material Al2O3 tests in progressatDESY  UoPatras • Feasibility for KaptonbasedusingMicrobulk techniques honeycomb  Saclay

  21. CAST in space? YES!! Isotropic Compton-scattering =f(column density)  [≈0 / ≈1] 3 21/7/2012

  22. SPHINX : - confirmed best in 2009 extreme solar minimum It is remarkable + fascinating that the Sun emits intense X-rays... mystery S. Tsuneta, AAPPS Bulletin, 19(#3) (2009) 11 http://www.cospa.ntu.edu.tw/aappsbulletin/data/19-3/11Hinode.pdf

  23. ? CAST solar physics ( [Bʘ]2+ρ) (dis)appearance of photons a/CH signal  γ- deficit / excess “unexpected” spatiotemporal dependence @ ARs transient events, e.g.:nanoflares

  24. SUN CMB 6000K 3000K ΔΤ ≈ ± 200μK ΔT/T ∼a few×10-5 ΔT/T ∼ 103 » new physics?! New physics!

  25. 2006 Axion community support open access Publications are the major output of scientific research and should be made available in their final form to the widest possible audience. In his talk Jens Vigen, CERN’s head librarian, underlined the importance of the axion community’s decision to challenge the current publishing paradigm that is based on publication behind toll barriers, and supported unanimously the open-access initiative advocated by CERN. For example, Living Reviews in Solar Physics, published by the Max Planck Society, is an interesting new title published as open access. Vigen appreciated the willingness of the CAST collaboration to make data from the experiment freely available worldwide (CERN Courier May 2003 p50). K.
