The last results in the hunt for the axion of CAST at CERN have been published last week in Nature Physics<\/a>\u00a0(open access). The result has been enabled by the availability of a new detection system, composed by a new x-ray telescope coupled to an ultra-low background Micromegas detectors<\/a> (dubbed IAXO pathfinder system) developed as part of the T-REX project. The system enjoys the best signal-to-noise ratio of any other previous detector in the experiment an is one\u00a0of the main milestones in the roadmap to prepare the next generation axion helioscope IAXO <\/a>(the International Axion Observatory).<\/p>\n

The corresponding author of the paper is the UNIZAR scientist and\u00a0T-REX PI Igor G. Irastorza. The published limit on the axion-photon coupling is the first CAST limit that\u00a0is competitive with the bounds set by astrophysics<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The result has had some impact in the local media. Some links are gathered below:<\/p>\n
