Axion Detector

Caption

University of Washington physicists Leslie Rosenberg (right) and Gray Rybka examine the experiment package as it is positioned above the bore of a large superconducting magnet, two primary components of the detector being used in the Axion Dark Matter Experiment. The components were assembled in mid-October and lowered into the magnet bore (lower right) to begin the detector's commissioning phase.
