A hypothetical particle, the axion, is predicted to transform into photons when it interacts with an electromagnetic field. In the haloscope detection, the transformed photons
accumulate in a cavity. However, the signal produced by the accumulated axions is still weak, so accurately determining the system noise through calibration is crucial. Traditionally, the Y-factor calibration method was necessary to assume that cable losses were similar. However, a new method of cavity-emitted radiation calibration has eliminated the need for this assumption and its feasibility is proven. Additionally, the on-off method
has been introduced to characterize the gain of the Josephson parametric amplifier. By integrating the results of radiation calibration and on-off calibration, the system noise can be determined accurately. |
