DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Nick Houston (北京工业大学)\nThe axion is a pa
 rticularly well-motivated candidate for the dark matter comprising most of
  the mass of our visible Universe\, leading to worldwide experimental and 
 observational efforts toward its discovery. As is well known\, resonant ca
 vities are a primary tool in this search\, where they are used to enhance 
 the conversion rate of axions into photons in a background electromagnetic
  field. What is perhaps less well appreciated is that resonant cavities ca
 n also enhance the rate at which axions decay to two photons\, a manifesta
 tion of the Purcell effect. We examine this possibility and show that it o
 ffers a previously unexplored method to search the axion parameter space i
 n a way that is competitive and complementary to other approaches\, with t
 he capability to probe a well-motivated region for QCD axion dark matter. 
 Furthermore\, we establish that this method can be implemented via preexis
 ting axion heterodyne detection schemes\, enabling such experiments to per
 form these searches with minimal modification.\n\nhttps://indico.itp.ac.cn
