Basic cavity is a right circular cylinder For ADMX, r = 21 cm • f = 550 MHz L = 100 cm Or:
Lower frequency • 30 m diameter, 3 T magnets have been built for energy storage • base frequency = 8 MHz • Capacitor for LC resonator • Hz to MHz • Each pair of plates must be in a grounded cage to avoid | -> | <- | -> | <- | 0 form factor
Signal strength • Power from the cavity is • QL ~ 70000(GHz/f)2/3 (ASE) and Qa ~106 • gγ ~ 0.97 (KSVZ); gγ ~ 0.36 (DFSZ)
Length cannot get too long • The longer the cavity, the more TE modes there are in the tuning range. • With metal tuning rod, there are also TEM modes at ~ integer*c/2L ~ 150MHz for 1 m L • Typical values L ~ 5r = 2.5*diameter Modes for r = 3.6 cm, L = 15.2 cm cavity. d is the distance the metal rod is from the center. (Divide frequencies by 6 for ADMX.)
Power will decrease with frequency • Single cylinder: • Power decreases because the volume decreases as f -3, the Q decreases as f -2/3 while the mass increases as f. • Can use multiple cavities, tuned together and added in phase
ADMX operated a 4 cavity array Did not fill the cavity volume well
Partitions reduce scale, increase frequency Efficient use of magnetic volume compared to, e.g., 4 parallel cylinders. Tune by moving rods from corner to center in each partition Segmented resonator
Segmented Resonator • ~¼ scale prototype • TM010 frequency = 2.7 GHz • Q 25,000 (300K) • V 5 liters • Scaled to ADMX, would have f = 850 MHz • 4 segment resonator would have f = 1.1 GHz
Segmented Resonator • ~¼ scale prototype • TM010 frequency = 2.7 GHz • Q 25,000 (300K) • V 0.005 m3 • 3D model • Comsol • Single rod gives TM010 frequency range = 2.7 – 3.4 GHz

Need up to 32 cavities Covers about 1 decade in axion mass
Cavity reflects (promptly) waves that are not on resonance Reflection dip at resonance, along with phase change Pound Drever-Hall (pdh) reflection locking
Each cavity can be driven to resonance at the carrier N-way splitter 5 GHz oscillator f 200 kHz sine Directional couplers Amplifier Mixer Cavities Tuning rod actuator
Detecting higher axion masses fres ~ 10 x f0 ~ 3 GHz Higher frequency resonant structures
Can be tuned • For ADMX-HF; frequencies in ADMX would be 1.5 to 1.66 GHz
Approching 1 meV • Synthesize static magnetic field with q = qg • Current varies along z
Conceptual design • Dimensions ~ 3 m x 3 m x 6 m • Wire spacing ~ 2 mm • Number of wires ~ 4 x 106 (but only ~3000 planes) • Currents ~ 200 A
Summary • To go beyond the basic right circular cylinder tuning range and to retain the basic sensitivity at higher frequencies is not easy • Mode crossings must be accounted for (Ed Daw has 3 slides) • Good ideas are needed
