We present a proposal for a new experiment, the FINUDA magnet for Light Axion SearcH (FLASH), a large resonant-cavity haloscope in a high static magnetic field which is planned to probe new physics in the form of dark matter (DM) axions, scalar fields, chameleons, hidden photons, as well as high frequency gravitational waves (GWs). Concerning the QCD axion, FLASH will search for these particles as the DM in the mass range (0.49-1.49) ueV, thus filling the mass gap between the ranges covered by other planned searches. A dedicated Microstrip SQUID operating at ultra-cryogenic temperatures will amplify the signal. The frequency range accessible overlaps with the Very High Frequency (VHF) range of the radio wave spectrum and allows for a search in GWs in the frequency range (100-300) MHz. The experiment will make use of the cryogenic plant and magnet of the FINUDA experiment at INFN Frascati National Laboratories near Rome (Italy); the operations needed to restore the functionalities of the apparatus are currently underway. We present the setup of the experiment and the sensitivity forecasts for the detection of axions, scalar fields, chameleons, hidden photons, and GWs.

  1. Axiverse Lampposts

    hep-ph 2026-02 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In a hierarchical multi-axion theory with random couplings, axion field ranges shrink with 1/sqrt(N), generic axion–SM couplings are suppressed, but the QCD axion's coupling is unsuppressed.

  2. Cavity Multimodes as an Array for High-Frequency Gravitational Waves

    hep-ph 2026-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A 9-cell microwave cavity's 18 modes can act as a synthetic detector array that reconstructs the direction, polarization, and chirp of a high-frequency gravitational-wave signal.

  3. Atomic Quantum Sensors for High-Frequency Gravitational Wave Searches

    hep-ph 2025-10 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A cavity-plus-atomic-sensor design could reach strain sensitivities down to ~1e-37 Hz^-1/2 in aggressive optical configurations, opening the unexplored high-frequency gravitational-wave band.

  4. Axion misalignment with memory-burdened PBH

    hep-ph 2025-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Axion dark matter parameter space shifts dramatically when kinetic misalignment and memory-burdened primordial black hole evaporation are combined.

  5. Gravitational Wave Detection With Plasma Haloscopes

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A full analysis of gravitational wave detection in plasma haloscopes shows anisotropic wire arrays lose sensitivity at high frequency, while isotropic arrays recover it.

  6. Direct detection of solar chameleons with electron recoil data from XENONnT

    hep-ph 2025-11 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    XENONnT electron-recoil data bound solar chameleons to log10 β_eff < −6.9, independent of the potential index n for inverse power-law chameleons at the dark-energy scale.

  7. Impact of First-order Electroweak Phase Transition on QCD Axion

    hep-ph 2025-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A temporary axion mass spike during a first-order electroweak phase transition can make the QCD axion dark matter over a wide range of decay constants without a tuned initial angle.

  8. The Spectrum of Global Axion Strings

    hep-ph 2025-02 conditional novelty 2.0 of 10

    Lattice simulations of global axion string networks, corrected for discretization and oscillation effects, are extrapolated to predict the axion dark matter mass in the 95 to 450 micro-eV band.

  9. Indirect detection of the QCD axion

    astro-ph.CO 2024-11 unverdicted

    A GBT X-band search for axion minicluster-neutron star radio transients in M31 found no 5-sigma candidates, yielding sensitivity to QCD axions in the 33-42 micro-eV mass range.
