The axion is now by far the most promising candidate for the constitution of cold dark matter and this has generated a proliferation of searches around the world. While almost all CDM axion experiments use the Sikivie haloscope method, it is clear that to reach cosmological sensitivities at higher masses, new RF techniques that go beyond the current microwave cavity designs must be advanced....

We present ongoing research and development in advanced microwave and millimeter-wave cavity design and fabrication at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory. This research is primarily focused on improving the performance of accelerating structures with optimized cavity design for reducing breakdowns and increasing Q-factor, distributed coupling and improved fabrication with micro-machining and...
