DESCRIPTION:The seminar recording is available on the internal website.\n\
 n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbstract: As the search for dark matter axions moves to h
 igher frequencies\, traditional cavity-based detectors must shrink in size
 \, severely reducing the signal power collected from axion-converted photo
 ns. While combining multiple cavities can compensate for this loss\, scali
 ng such systems introduces significant complexity. To bypass these limitat
 ions\, the ADMX-VERA (Volume Enhanced Resonators for Axions) collaboration
  explores alternative geometries that maintain large effective volumes at 
 high frequencies by leveraging modes dependent on only a single dimension.
  In this talk\, I will introduce the "thin-shell" concept motivating this 
 R&D program\, present prototype results validating the design\, and addres
 s a critical challenge associated with coupling to these spatially distrib
 uted modes. I will conclude by discussing how we overcome this readout cha
 llenge by adapting a technique ubiquitous in cosmic microwave background (
 CMB) experiments but novel to axion haloscopes.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nhttps
