            "Looking for tiny particles using small budgets"



    MASS Collaboration is a small group within the MSSTATE Medium Energy Nuclear Physics Group. The group is actively searching for light axions in the 10-100meV sector using a pair of hybrid RF resonance cavities via the "light shining through a wall" (LSW) technique. The experiment derives a lot of its motivation and physics goals from ADMX at CENPA in University of Washington and GammeV at FermiLab. The collaboration is mainly based at Mississippi State University across two departments and two affiliated research centers.
