At the University of Western Australia we have a long history of developing high-Q cavities and transducers at microwave frequencies for applications for precision measurement, frequency standards, quantum information applications and testing fundamental physics. The latter includes hidden sector photon and axion experiments. Types of resonators include high-Q dielectric whispering gallery...

76. Searching for Hidden Photons

A "hidden photon" is a possible new particle, similar to the photon but with a small mass and with only a tiny coupling to electrically charged particles. Searches for hidden photons -- whether as dark matter or as a new force carrier -- have a great deal of overlap with corresponding axion searches. However, they tend to be significantly easier for two reasons: 1) static B-fields are NOT...
