BRAGG-PRIMAKOFF AXION PHOTOCONVERSION IN CRYSTAL DETECTORS

Bragg-Primakoff axion photoconversion in crystal detectors

Abstract Axions and axion-like SHIRTS CAREER SLIM FIT pseudoscalar particles with dimension-5 couplings to photons exhibit coherent Primakoff scattering with ordered crystals at keV energy scales, making for a natural detection technique in searches for solar axions.We find that there are large suppressive corrections, potentially greater than a fa
