P200 : testing the piezo motors
Principle of the measurement: precise control of 200 mm diameter sapphire disk position with three piezo motors
Move the motors using a controller
Motor positions measured using laser interferometers and tiny mirrors on the disk with precision better than 100 nm
Position error

surface height is ~200

Researchers are investigating direct detection of axion dark matter using innovative technologies like the MADMAX dielectric haloscope. The project aims to boost signals, overcome challenges in probing higher mass ranges, and validate principles through prototypes like the P200 setup. Testing involves precise control of piezo motors for movement accuracy at cryogenic temperatures and high magnetic fields. Data analysis of motor tests in various conditions indicates progress towards achieving target precision.
