Description
The DMRadio suite of experiments seeks to search for one of the most promising Dark Matter (DM) candidates, the axion, via an optimized resonant lumped element search. In order to cover as wide of a parameter space as possible, each of the DMRadio experiments is designed to cover specific complementary mass regions starting from 5 kHz ($\approx$ 20 peV) in the DMRadio-50L experimental all the way up to 200 MHz ($\approx$ 1 $\mu$eV) with the DMRadio-m$^3$ experiment. At the same time, the DMRadio-50L experiment will serve as a testbed for accelerated axion searches with quantum sensors. In this talk, we will present an overview of the DMRadio program, discuss the optimization campaign together with the current construction efforts on the DMRadio-50L experiment, discuss the future goals for the DMRadio-m$^3$ experiment, as well as the development of a future search for GUT-scale QCD axions in the MHz region.
