Descripción
Electromagnetic radiation with angular frequency equal to half
the axion mass stimulates the decay of cold dark matter axions
and produces an echo, i.e. faint electromagnetic radiation
traveling in the opposite direction. We propose to search
for axion dark matter by sending out to space a powerful beam
of microwave radiation and listening for its echo. We estimate
the sensitivity of this technique in the isothermal and caustic
ring models of the Milky Way halo, and find it to be a promising
approach to axion, or axion-like, dark matter detection.
