Cosmic Axion Spin Precession Experiment (CASPEr)

• Applicant: Hendrik Bekker, Ph.D.
• Subject Area: Nuclear and Elementary Particle Physics, Quantum Mechanics, Relativity, Fields
• Term: since 2025
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 553927523

The proposal is for critical upgrades of the CASPEr experiment searching for ultralight axion-like particles as constituents of dark matter. The resulting apparatus will enable probing hitherto unexplored dark matter parameter spaces.
