Progress towards hyperpolarized liquid xenon for the Cosmic Axion Spin Precession Experiment (CASPEr-Wind) — •Gary Centers1, John Blanchard1, Nataniel Figueroa1, Marina Gil Sendra1, Arne Wickenbrock1, Dmitry Budker1, and CASPEr Collaboration2 — 1Helmholtz Institute Mainz, Johannes Gutenberg University, 55128 Mainz, Germany — 2Various locations
The Cosmic Axion Spin Precession Experiment (CASPEr), particularly the CASPEr-Wind, is a detection scheme searching for light particles that have a coupling to nuclear spin; some examples being dark matter candidates like the axion/axion-like particles, hidden photons, or any pseudo-Goldstone boson[1,2,3].
Current progress towards the condensation of hyperpolarized xenon (Xe) gas as the main sample for the CASPEr is presented. Included will be an overview of condensation process, a review of gas and liquid Xe relaxation processes, components designed for maintaining polarization during the condensation, and preliminary process/component characterizations.
