    Can the Donut-Shaped Magnet ‘CAPPuccino submarine’ hunt for Dark Matter?

    January 24, 2017, Categories  Astronomy/Space, Physics

    Scientists at IBS CAPP are prototyping haloscopes - machines that hunt for dark matter. Haloscope have very strong magnets. Helix-shaped magnets (solenoid magnets, on the left) are commonly used in dark matter experiments. CAPP scientists are also investigating the possibility of using donut-shaped magnets, technically known as toroidal magnets, and nicknamed this device "CAPPuccino submarine".

    IBS scientists clarify that toroidal magnets can also look for axions, one of the particle candidates for the mysterious dark matter...
