Description
Axions, the famous hypothetical particle that explains the absence of CP violation in QCD is also an exciting candidate for dark matter.
At Mainz we're currently constructing a new experiment utilizing superconducting RF cavities in a 14T magnetic field to search for axions in the $8.4\,\textrm{GHz}$ range. In this talk the physics reach of the experiment will be discussed as well as the status and first test-results of our prototype cavity.
