We report on a holoscope axion search experiment near $19.6\ {\rm \mu eV}$ from the TASEH collaboration. The experiment is carried out via a frequency-tunable cavity detector with a volume $V = 0.234\ {\rm liter}$ in a magnetic field $B_0 =…

Proposed half a century ago, the quantum chromodynamics (QCD) axion explains the lack of charge and parity violation in the strong interactions and is a compelling candidate for cold dark matter. The last decade has seen the rapid…

We report a follow-up axion haloscope search near 1.036 GHz that completes and extends our previous work [Phys. Rev. X 14, 031023 (2024)], in which a portion of the HEMT-based data could not be analyzed due to unrecorded experimental…

We propose a new strategy to search for dark matter axions using tunable cryogenic plasmas. Unlike current experiments, which repair the mismatch between axion and photon masses by breaking translational invariance (cavity and dielectric…

We investigate reentrant and dielectric loaded cavities for the purpose of extending the range of axion cavity haloscopes to lower masses, below the range where the Axion Dark Matter eXperiment (ADMX) has already searched. Reentrant and…

An axion-like particle (ALP) with mass $m_\phi \sim 10^{-15}$eV oscillates with frequency $\sim$1 Hz. This mass scale lies in an open window of astrophysical constraints, and appears naturally as a consequence of grand unification (GUT) in…
