THE CERN SOLAR AXION TELESCOPE (CAST)

The CERN Axion Solar Telescope (CAST) is a third-generation axion 
helioscope that has been in operation since 2003.  After briefly 
discussing the theoretical motivation for this project, I will describe 
in the detail the operation of the experiment, which is built around 
a LHC prototype magnet. I will conclude with a discussion of recent 
results and future plans for CAST.
