What Does CAST Stand For?
CAST stands for CERN Axion Solar Telescope
CAST, or CERN Axion Solar Telescope, is a specialized experimental facility designed to search for axions, hypothetical elementary particles that may constitute dark matter. Located at CERN, CAST utilizes a unique telescope setup to detect the conversion of solar axions into detectable X-ray photons within a strong magnetic field, contributing to our understanding of fundamental physics and the composition of the universe.
