论文摘要
我们介绍了Funk实验的结果，以寻找隐藏的暗物质。在镜面的表面附近，隐藏的光子可以转换为普通光子。这些光子垂直于表面发射，其能量等于暗物质隐藏光子的质量。我们的实验设置由一个大的球形镜组成，面积超过14 m $^2 $，将发射的光子集中到其中心点。使用对可见和近紫外光子敏感的检测器，我们可以在2.5至7 eV的质量范围内排除比\χ\ 10^{-12} $强的结合耦合，假设隐藏的光子包含所有暗物质。用于获得此限制的实验设置和分析将详细讨论。
We present results from the FUNK experiment in the search for hidden-photon dark matter. Near the surface of a mirror, hidden photons may be converted into ordinary photons. These photons are emitted perpendicular to the surface and have an energy equal to the mass of the dark matter hidden photon. Our experimental setup consists of a large, spherical mirror with an area of more than 14 m$^2$, which concentrates the emitted photons into its central point. Using a detector sensitive to visible and near-UV photons, we can exclude a kinetic-mixing coupling of stronger than $χ\approx 10^{-12}$ in the mass range of 2.5 to 7 eV, assuming hidden photons comprise all of the dark matter. The experimental setup and analysis used to obtain this limit are discussed in detail.
