We search for dark matter in the form of axionlike particles (ALPs) in the mass range $5.576741 \,\mathrm{neV/c^2}$ - $5.577733\,\mathrm{neV/c^2}$ by probing their possible coupling to fermion spins through the ALP field gradient. This is…

We advocate an idea that the presence of the daily and annual modulations of the axion flux on the Earth surface may dramatically change the strategy of the axion searches. Our computations are based on the so-called Axion Quark Nugget…
