Anisotropy effects in a dielectric haloscope for dark matter searches — •bernardo ary dos santos for the MADMAX collaboration — RWTH III. Physikalisches Institut A, Aachen, Germany

The MADMAX collaboration intends to build a dielectric haloscope targeted to detect galactic axion dark matter, in the mass range 40−400 µeV . This experiment consists of a series of dielectric discs and a mirror placed inside a strong homogeneous magnetic field that would produce the emission of coherent electromagnetic radiation with a frequency related to the mass of the axion. One of the current challenges is to simulate this experiment taking into account realistic settings. We present an improved simulation that is able to include the effects of anisotropic dielectric discs in the experiment.
