Gravitational-waves in the LSD band from a Galactic population of axion clouds
ORAL
Abstract
The Levitated Sensor Detector (LSD), currently under development at Northwestern University, is a next-generation gravitational-wave (GW) instrument operating in the 10 kHz - 300 kHz band. Axion clouds will radiate in the LSD band if the boson's mass is in the range 2 x 10-11 eV - 6 x 10-10 eV. To estimate the number of axion clouds in the Milky Way, we must adopt models for the spatial, mass, and age distributions of Galactic black holes. In this talk, we will describe our simulated population, and we will present the resultant set of signals for different assumed spin distributions.
