Abstract

MADMAX is based on a new approach to detect axion cold dark matter in the mass region of ~μeV. The experiment is currently in the research and development phase. It is therefore important to understand detailed requirements for the setup. Within this thesis the effects and issues that can influence the measurement strategy of MADMAX are discussed. One of the crucial topics are loss mechanisms. An estimate for loss mechanisms in the system has been performed. Also first steps in investigating loss effects with a 3D simulation have been investigated. Additionally measurement results from the proof of principle MADMAX receiver system have been analyzed for peculiarities. Analytical calculations of the total measurement time with MADMAX have been performed required to detect a potential axion. These reveal the basic requirements for MADMAX and the tolerance range for certain setup parameters. In these calculations also the developed loss estimate is included. The results on the influence of loss mechanisms on the total measurement time are presented. The investigations show that the current plans for the setup of MADMAX seem feasible and it should be sufficient to detect the QCD dark matter axion.
