A feasibility study for measuring geomagnetic conversion of solar axions to x-rays in low Earth orbits

Davoudiasl, Hooman; Huber, Patrick

We present a detailed computation of the expected rate for geomagnetic conversion of solar axions to x-rays (GECOSAX) along the orbit of an x-ray satellite. We use realistic satellite orbits and propagation in time. A realistic model for the Earth's magnetic field, which properly accounts for its spatial non-uniformity, is used. We also account fo…
