Light axion-like particles occur in many theories of beyond-Standard-Model physics, and may make up some or all of the universe's dark matter. One of the ways they can couple to the Standard Model is through the electromagnetic $F_{\mu\nu}…

Following a phenomenological analysis done by the late Martin Perl for the detection of the dark energy, we show that an axion of energy $1.5\times 10^{-3}~eV/c^2$ can be a viable candidate for the dark energy particle. In particular, we…
An interesting strategy for indirect detection of Dark Matter comes through the amounts of electrons and positrons usually emitted by DM pair annihilation. The e+e- gyrating in the galactic magnetic field then produce secondary synchrotron…
Recently, indications for an emission line at 3.55 keV have been found in the combined spectra of a large number of galaxy clusters and also in Andromeda. This line could not be identified with any known spectral line. It is tempting to…
In our previous paper we have shown that enhanced radiations arise from (super) conductor by dark matter axion under strong magnetic field. We have recalculated the radiation by carefully treating boundary conditions between vacuum and the…
Axion dark matter differentiates the phase velocities of the circular-polarized photons. In Phys.Rev.Lett. 123 (2019) no.11, 111301, we have proposed a scheme to measure the phase difference by using a linear optical cavity. If the scheme…
Conventional approaches to probing axions and axion-like particles (ALPs) typically rely on a coupling to photons. However, if this coupling is extremely weak, ALPs become invisible and are effectively decoupled from the Standard Model.…
The Axion Dark Matter eXperiment is sensitive to narrow axion flows, given axions compose a fraction of the dark matter with a non-negligible local density. Detecting these low-velocity dispersion flows requires a high spectral resolution…
Pairs of misalignment-produced axions with nearby masses can experience a nonlinear resonance that leads to enhanced direct and astrophysical signatures of axion dark matter. In much of the relevant parameter space, self-interactions cause…

The axion is a hypothetical elementary particle and a cold dark matter candidate. It could dominate potential wells of most astrophysical objects. Axions spontaneously decay into nearly monochromatic microwave photons. We present results…
We discuss a possible principle for detecting dark matter axions in galactic halos. If axions constitute a condensate in the Milky Way, stimulated emissions of the axions from a type of excitation in condensed matter can be detectable. We…
