Description
Background ultralight scalar fields that are considered as a viable candidate for galactic dark matter may manifest themselves in apparent variation of fundamental constants, see, for example, [1,2].
In this talk, we will discuss some of the recent work of our group and collaborators, for example [3- 6], where we search for oscillating dark matter with Compton frequencies from near DC up to 100 MHz.
