abstract
The Cosmic Axion Spin Precession Experiment (CASPEr) is a nuclear magnetic resonance experiment (NMR) seeking to detect axion and axion-like particles which could make up the dark matter present in the universe. We review the predicted couplings of axions and axion-like particles with baryonic matter that enable their detection via NMR. We then describe two measurement schemes being implemented in CASPEr. The first method, presented in the original CASPEr proposal, consists of a resonant search via continuous-wave NMR spectroscopy. This method offers the highest sensitivity for frequencies ranging from a few Hz to hundreds of MHz, corresponding to masses $ m_{\rm a} \sim 10^{-14}$--$10^{-6}$ eV. Sub-Hz frequencies are typically difficult to probe with NMR due to the diminishing sensitivity of magnetometers in this region. To circumvent this limitation, we suggest new detection and data processing modalities. We describe a non-resonant frequency-modulation detection scheme, enabling searches from mHz to Hz frequencies ($m_{\rm a} \sim 10^{-17}$--$10^{-14} $ eV), extending the detection bandwidth by three decades.

Constraining axion quadratic couplings with the Hulse-Taylor binary system
Orbital timing of the Hulse-Taylor binary pulsar gives the strongest published limits on quadratic axion-muon couplings for axion masses below about 10^-12 eV, and complementary limits on axion-neutron and axion-elect...

Searching for ultralight bosons within spin measurements of a population of binary black hole mergers
A hierarchical Bayesian analysis of mock binary black hole populations shows that roughly a hundred high-signal-to-noise mergers could exclude or confirm ultralight bosons in the 1e-13 to 3e-12 eV range.
