The magnet is essential because axions are expected to interact with electromagnetic fields, although only extraordinarily weakly. In the BabyIAXO design, axions produced inside the Sun could enter the magnet and, under the right conditions, convert into detectable X-ray photons. The proposed full-scale observatory would use a magnet approximately 20 meters long, making it the largest helioscope ever planned for axion research. Subject of Research: The search for axions, a hypothetical elementary particle that could explain the strong CP problem and contribute to dark matter.
