Deuteron and carbon magnetic resonance studies of liquid and glassy salol

The glass-former salol was studied using carbon and deuteron NMR. For the 13C measurements protonated samples were used. For the deuteron experiments salol was selectively deuterated at the phenyl ring. The measurement of the spin-lattice relaxation times provides clear evidence for an anisotropic reorientation of the molecules in the supercooled liquid. Close to the glass transition a bimodal longitudinal magnetization recovery is observed which indicates the presence of relatively slow intramolecular degrees of freedom. From deuteron solid echo spectra this process is identified as a uniaxial large amplitude motion of the phenyl group which exhibits a broad distribution of correlation times. ?2000 American Institute of Physics

MADMAX Status Report

In this report we present the status of the MAgnetized Disk and Mirror Axion eXperiment (MADMAX), the first dielectric haloscope for the direct search of dark matter axions in the mass range of 40 to 400 $\mu$eV. MADMAX will consist of several parallel dielectric disks, which are placed in a strong magnetic field and with adjustable separations. This setting is expected to allow for an observable emission of axion induced electromagnetic waves at a frequency between 10 and 100 GHz corresponding to the axion mass.
