Kinetic Inductance Detectors for the CADEx Experiment: Searching for Axions in the W-Band
This paper presents the detector developments for the Canfrac Axion Detection Experiment (CADEx), aiming at detecting dark matter axions and dark photons within the W-band. A proof of concept of the detection system is based on an array of lumped-element kinetic inductance detectors (LEKIDs). Microstrip technology is used as read-out scheme, and the ground plane acts as backshort for optimizing optical absorption in the W-band. A titanium/aluminum bilayer is used for ensuring detection below 100 GHz. The detector array design includes an inner active section consisting of 36 detectors for direct detection of the axion signal and an additional outer rim of 28 blind pixels for calibration purposes. The nanofabrication process and a preliminary cryogenic characterization are presented, being the results in good agreement with the frequency design. Measured devices exhibit coupling quality factors of the order of 6 × 104, internal quality factors above 105 and an estimated kinetic inductance of 3.3 pH/□.
