The axion provides a solution to the Strong CP Problem of particle physics and is a candidate for the cold dark matter of the Universe I'll briefly review the constraints on the axion from particle physics, stellar evolution and cosmology. The constraints imply that its interactions are extremely weak, so much so that the axion was once thought "invisible". Nonetheless a number of methods...

The Any Light Particle Search II (ALPS II) is a light-shining-through-a-wall (LSW) experiment located at DESY in Hamburg, Germany, that is searching for axions and axion-like particles in the mass range below 0.1 meV. LSW experiments take advantage of the potential interaction between axions and two photons by shining a laser through a region of high magnetic field. This creates an axion field...

Dark photon dark matter (DP-DM) is one of the dark matter candidates. The DP-DM is theoretically predicted to have a weak coupling χ to ordinary photons. This results in the emission of the conversion photon at the electromagnetic boundary such as a metal surface when the DP-DM passes through.

WISP Searches on a Fiber Interferometer (WISPFI) is a novel tabletop experiment using interferometric techniques applied to photonic crystal fibers searching for a resonant photon-axion conversion. It is independent of the local dark matter density which can highly reduce the sensitivity of axion experiments and could as well be the reason behind the null results of dark matter searches so...

Haloscopes consisting of a microwave cavity with a high quality factor (Q) connected to low-noise electronics have been deployed to detect wavelike axions and dark photons. But the dark matter mass is unknown, so haloscopes must be tunable to search through the photon coupling vs. mass parameter space. Therefore, the scan rate for haloscope experiments is a crucial figure of merit and is...

Superconducting radiofrequency technology has been essential for advancing the performance in particle physics experiments over the past decades. In particular, axion haloscopes require high-quality factor (Q) superconducting cavities working in multi-tesla magnetic fields to enhance scanning speeds, which can be accomplished using high-temperature superconducting (HTS) tapes....

We introduce a systematic way to calculate the spectral sensitivity of an electromagnetic axion dark matter haloscope, so instrument comparison may be achieved independent of signal assumptions and only depends on the axion to signal transduction sensitivity and noise in the instrument [1]. Furthermore, it has been shown that electromagnetic axion haloscopes have proportional sensitivity to...

Ultralight axions and dark photons are compelling candidates for dark matter. In this talk, I will provide an overview of my recent work (arXiv:2207.05767, 2301.03622) on detecting radio-frequency axions and dark photons using radio telescopes. The detectability relies on two distinct underlying mechanisms. One mechanism involves local dark photon dark matter inducing harmonic oscillations of...

If the PQ symmetry is broken after inflation then the QCD axion mass that gives rise to the observed dark matter (DM) abundance can in principle be calculated precisely. In practice it remains a computational challenge to accurately predict the DM contribution from nonlinear features of the PQ field such as axion strings, which introduce a large hierarchy of scales between their width and the...

The MAGIC (Major Atmospheric Gamma ray Imaging Cherenkov) telescopes are a system of two Imaging Cherenkov telescopes located on the Canary island of La Palma. They detect very high energy (VHE, E>100GeV) gamma rays by capturing the Cherenkov light released from charged particles in the gamma-ray-induced particle showers. For many years MAGIC devoted a consistent part of the observation to the...

We present here the first results of Dark SRF, a light-shining-through-wall (LSW) experiment that leverages ultra-high quality factor superconducting radio frequency (SRF) cavities to search for dark photons. The use of Nb SRF cavities combined with a strict calibration and measurement protocol increased sensitivity to dark photons by several orders of magnitude compared to other LSW...

Dark Matter searches utilizing single-photon and phonon excitations have been broadly accepted as effective methods of harnessing the miniscule energies transferred from Ultra-light and Light Dark Matter. Qubits are highly sensitive to sub-eV energy phonons and photons which make them a compelling detection technology for light and Ultralight Dark Matter. We will discuss the potential of this...

The upcoming helioscope experiment IAXO is sensitive to realistic QCD axion models, making it one of the most exciting future axion searches. Indeed, in case of a discovery, IAXO may even determine the axion mass in the multi-meV range and allow us to study solar metallicities, magnetic fields, and distinguish different solar or axion models.

This talk further explores that scenario. In... -

Dark photon dark matter in the milli-eV mass range is notoriously difficult to detect, being too high in frequency for high-Q cavity resonators yet below the energy threshold of single-photon detectors. I will present a new method that overcomes this difficulty, based on recent work (arXiv:2208.06519) with Peter Graham and Gerald Gabrielse et al. We propose to use trapped electrons as high-Q...

Significant experimental efforts to search for QCD axions have been made at the Center for Axion and Precision Physics Research (CAPP) in order to address the fundamental questions in physics: the strong CP problem and the dark matter mystery. The Center has established a world-class facility dedicated for cavity haloscope searches relying on the axion-photon coupling. By leveraging powerful...

We shall discuss the 5.49 MeV solar axions flux produced in the $p(d,$ $\!\! ^3{\rm He})a$ reaction and analyze the potential to detect it with the forthcoming large underground neutrino oscillation experiment Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO). In doing so, we will consider axions through various processes such as Compton and inverse Primakoff conversion, as well as through...

Exact discrete symmetries, if non-linearly realized, can reduce the ultraviolet sensitivity of a given theory. The scalars stemming from spontaneous symmetry breaking are massive without breaking the discrete symmetry, and those masses are protected from divergent quadratic corrections. This is in contrast to non-linearly realized continuous symmetries. In this talk we use invariant theory to...

We report the first search for the Sagittarius tidal stream of axion dark matter around 4.55 µeV using CAPP-12TB haloscope data acquired in March of 2022.

We present new results of a room temperature resonant AC haloscope, which searches for axions via photon upconversion. Traditional haloscopes require a strong applied DC magnetic background field surrounding the haloscope cavity resonator, the resonant frequency of which is limited by available bore dimensions. UPLOAD, the UPconversion Low-Noise Oscillator Axion Detection experiment, replaces...

Superradiance in black holes is reasonably well-understood but superradiance in stars has received comparatively little attention. This is surprising given the ease with which we can observe isolated neutron stars and the array of signatures which would result from stellar superradiance. I will discuss the opportunities and challenges of stellar superradiance for detecting axions and other...
