Re: In search of the Axion
The search for axions in multi-Tesla magnetic fields is interesting. but this leads to the question: do axions also interact with mega-Tesla magnetic fields found near some neutron stars? If they do, should we not see microwave spikes in the spectrum from such neutron stars? Given the number of high field neutron stars in the universe, how long would it take for a significant amount of axions to decay? How much energy (in the form of microwaves) would be added to our universe over, say, 13.5 Billion years?
Using permanent magnets, would it be possible to build a microwave oven that runs on axions?
