3. Matched-Filters applied to radio pulsar data to search for signal from resonant axion-photon conversion

Sankarshana Srinivasan (University of Manchester)

The axion is one of the well-motivated dark matter candidates in the literature today. Recently, a lot of work has gone into understanding the signal from the resonant conversion axions to photons in neutron star magnetospheres. The state-of-the-art ray-tracing simulations show that the spectral line signal is not only Doppler-broadened but also has significant non-trivial time-dependence. I...
