Description
One of the most well-motivated candidates to be the dark matter is the axion, a particle that is predicted by the solution to another long-standing mystery in physics, the strong CP problem. This talk discusses direct searches for low-mass axion dark matter via its photon interactions. The prototype experiment ABRACADABRA-10 cm developed an innovative lumped-element detection method to search in this mass range and set world-leading limits on axions. It also laid the stage for the DMRadio program, a series of larger detectors that will be capable of finding QCD axions and axion-like particles over a large range of masses below 1 μeV. Here I review the DMRadio experiments, including ongoing progress and plans for the future.
