The Axion Dark Matter eXperiment (ADMX) first achieved sensitivity to the DFSZ axion using a cavity haloscope coupled to a microstrip SQUID amplifier. ADMX has continued to scan upwards in frequency using the single-cavity approach. The collaboration intends to switch to a multi-cavity setup for future runs; however, the multi-cavity approach is not sustainable long term. I will present an...

The MAgnetized Disk and Mirror Axion eXperiment (MADMAX) collaboration is aiming to detect dark matter axions from the galactic halo by resonant conversion to photons in a strong magnetic field. It uses the novel dielectric haloscope concept based on a stack of dielectric disks in front of a mirror, called booster, to enhance the potential signal from axion-photon conversion over a significant...

The search for axion dark matter in the microwave regime demands detector technologies capable of resolving extraordinarily weak electromagnetic signals with near- or sub- quantum-limited sensitivity. The Broadband Reflector Experiment for Axion Detection (BREAD) aims to address this challenge by combining large-aperture electromagnetic collection concepts with state-of-the-art superconducting...

A search for cosmological axions has been performed by scanning a frequency region of 38 MHz centered at about 10.2 GHz, corresponding to an axion mass ma ≃ 42 μeV. The QUAX experimental apparatus, a haloscope comprised of a 1-liter volume tunable cavity immersed in an 8 T magnetic field and a quantum-limited detection chain, set limits on the axion-photon coupling at the 10−14 GeV−1 level. As...
