Description
We propose an experimental scheme to search for galactic halo axions with mass ma∼10-4 eV, which is above the range accessible with cavity techniques. The detector consists of a large number of parallel superconducting wires embedded in a material transparent to microwave radiation. The wires carry a current configuration which produces a static, inhomogeneous magnetic field B(x) within the detector volume. Axions which enter this volume may convert to photons. We discuss the feasibility of the detector and its sensitivity
