Title: Tuning in to axion dark matter with DMRadio
Abstract: Axions are one of the most compelling answers to the open question of the identity of the universe’s dark matter. Detecting them, however, is a challenge, due to their tiny expected couplings to visible matter and their very low, unknown mass. Several experimental methods have been developed to overcome these challenges, relying on enhancing the axions’ conversion to photons using strong magnetic fields and detecting the resulting signals with superconducting quantum sensors. Here I will discuss one of the axion searches that I work on, DMRadio, from the current effort building DMRadio-50L to the future with DMRadio-m^3 and DMRadio-GUT.
