Description
At QUP, we are developing an experiment to search for the solar axion. The axion is a hypothetical particle which is introduced as a solution for the strong-CP problem and is a candidate for cosmological dark matter, This experiment aims to detect axions from the Sun. Especially 14.4keV monochromatic axion from the reaction with $^{57}\rm{Fe}$ nuclei.
Our detector has the same atom plated on Si wafer, and the transition edge sensor can detect axion energy with excellent energy resolution and efficiency. We adopt micro-wave multiplexing technology to readout multiple sensors with one cable for the purpose of reduction of thermal inlet. In the poster, the design, and the status of the integration of the experimental system will be presented.
