Abstract: (arXiv)

We report here several technical improvements to the HAYSTAC (Haloscope at Yale Sensitive To Axion Cold dark matter) that have improved operational efficiency, sensitivity, and stability.

Note:

5 pages, submitted to the 2nd Workshop on Microwave Cavities and Detectors for Axion Research; added discussion of noise problem in ver. 2
