Abstract
The Oscillating Resonant Group AxioN experiment (ORGAN), is a haloscope search for high mass axions hosted at the University of Western Australia node of the ARC Centre of Excellence for Engineered Quantum Systems (EQuS). The experiment has received 7 years of funding through EQuS, and will be a collaboration of the various EQuS nodes. We discuss the targeted parameter space of the search, search methodology, some novel resonator design and a scheme for power combining resonators.
