Feasibility Study for Measuring Geomagnetic Conversion of Solar Axions to X-rays in Low Earth Orbits

Davoudiasl, Hooman, Huber, Patrick

Understand

We present a detailed computation of the expected rate for Geomagnetic Conversion of Solar Axions to X-rays (GECOSAX) along the orbit of an x-ray satellite.

We use realistic satellite orbits and propagation in time.
A realistic model for the Earth's magnetic field, which properly accounts for its spatial non-uniformity, is used.
We also account for the effect of the Earth's atmosphere on the propagation of x-rays in our calculation of axion-photon conversion probability.
