Comment: You (correctly) describe axions as hypothetical in the first sentence but then the draft discusses Haloscopes as if axions are proven to exist. CoconutOctopus talk 16:21, 5 June 2025 (UTC)
- Comment: The instrument being described is used to test for hypothetical particles. Unfortunately until (and if) anything is detected the notability of the topic is similarly hypothetical. The prior reviews did not spell this out; there is insufficient attention as yet to make the topic notable. A quick google search shows more hits to an editor and a beauty produce. I strongly suggest not resubmitting this. At most add a paragraph to Axion#Experiments. Ldm1954 (talk) 17:46, 19 May 2025 (UTC)

 Haloscope concept |
Haloscopes.[1] are experimental devices designed to detect axions, hypothetical particles that are strong candidates for dark matter. These instruments typically use a resonant microwave cavity placed in a strong magnetic field to convert axions into detectable photons via the Primakoff effect.
Haloscopes[2] are most sensitive to axions in a specific mass range and operate by tuning the cavity to resonate at frequencies corresponding to those masses.
The most well-known haloscope experiment to date is ADMX (Axion Dark Matter eXperiment)[3]. Other axion experiments, like IAXO (International AXion Observatory)[4], may incorporate haloscope techniques in its broader axion detection strategy. One of these techniques is RADES (Relic Axion Dark matter Exploratory Setup) which was operated in CAST.
Haloscope techniques, have also been proposed for the detection of high-frequency gravitational waves. In these concepts, a resonant cavity placed in a strong magnetic field can convert gravitational wave energy into electromagnetic signals through axion-like couplings or other beyond-standard-model interactions. Such approaches aim to explore gravitational wave frequencies in the MHz to GHz range, which are not accessible to conventional interferometers like LIGO or Virgo[5]
