Resumen: We present the first analysis using RADES-BabyIAXO cavities as detectors of high-frequency gravitational waves (HFGWs). In particular, we discuss two configurations for distinct frequency ranges of HFGWs: cavity 1, mostly sensitive at a frequency range of 252.8–333.2 MHz, and cavity 2, at 2.504–3.402 GHz, which is a scaled down version of cavity 1. We find that cavity 1 will reach sensitivity to strains of the HFGWs of order h1∼10−21, while cavity 2 will reach h2∼10−20. These represent the best estimations of the RADES-BabyIAXO cavities as HFGW detectors, showing how this setup can produce groundbreaking results in axion physics and HFGWs simultaneously.
