The Canfranc Axion Detection Experiment (CADEx) will search for axions in the yet unexplored mass range of 330–460 micro–electronvolts (µeV). Operating in the W-band (75–110 GHz), CADEx will be installed in a dilution cryostat at the Canfranc Underground Laboratory, combining, for the first time, a cavity haloscope in a strong magnetic field with a Kinetic Inductance Detector (KID) camera....

Axions are one of the most compelling answers to the open question of the identity of the universe’s dark matter. Detecting them is challenging, due to their tiny expected couplings to visible matter and their very low, unknown mass. The DMRadio program is working to overcome these challenges to search for low-mass axion dark matter using a lumped-element detection technique. Here I will...

Understanding the nature of dark matter remains one of the most compelling and urgent questions in modern physics. Simultaneously, the groundbreaking discovery of gravitational waves has opened an entirely new observational window onto the Universe, allowing scientists to explore cosmic phenomena previously hidden from view using traditional electromagnetic methods. Looking ahead, the...

I discuss the latest developments on the Princeton Axion Search (PXS), a search for QCD axion dark matter in the 0.8-2.1 ueV mass range (200-500 MHz frequencies). PXS addresses the transitional range between cavity haloscopes and the DMRadio program, which operates below any cavity modes and utilizes lumped-element techniques. I describe development efforts on all aspects of the experimental...
