Abstract

We are investigating the improvement of the precision of the means of measurement to determine if it is possible to have sufficient sensitivity to the detection of the effects of elementary particles which would be characteristic of dark matter. A particle has been proposed and is called axion. There would be an interaction between the axions and the photons using the Primakoff effect under strong magnetic field. Radio frequencies from 460 to 810 MHz would be assumed to be suitable for the mass of the axion, if it exists. It is then interesting to focus on the piezoaxionic effect. If the frequency of the axions could match the natural frequency of a normal mode bulk acoustic of a piezoelectric crystal, one would expect the piezoaxionic effect to occur. One could then rely on the piezoelectric effect to observe the variations on the resonant frequency which can be read out electrically using the best piezoelectric materials. Through this example of development and applications in detection, we propose to decrypt this subject and to show how multidisciplinary skills are necessary to hope that small fluctuations can be detectable.
