abstract

We report an extensive high-sensitivity search for axion dark matter above 1\,GHz at the Center for Axion and Precision Physics Research (CAPP). The cavity resonant search, exploiting the coupling between axions and photons, explored the frequency (mass) range of 1.025\,GHz (4.24\,$\mu$eV) to 1.185\,GHz (4.91\,$\mu$eV). We have introduced a number of innovations in this field, demonstrating the practical approach of optimizing all the relevant parameters of axion haloscopes, extending presently available technology. The CAPP 12\,T magnet with an aperture of 320\,mm made of Nb$_3$Sn and NbTi superconductors surrounding a 37-liter ultralight-weight copper cavity is expected to convert DFSZ axions into approximately $10^2$ microwave photons per second. A powerful dilution refrigerator, capable of keeping the core system below 40\,mK, combined with quantum-noise limited readout electronics, achieved a total system noise of about 200\,mK or below, which corresponds to a background of roughly $4\times 10^3$ photons per second within the axion bandwidth. The combination of all those improvements provides unprecedented search performance, imposing the most stringent exclusion limits on axion--photon coupling in this frequency range to date. These results also suggest an experimental capability suitable for highly-sensitive searches for axion dark matter above 1\,GHz.

  1. Suppressed Quantum Effects of Weakly Coupled Waves

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Nonclassical (quantum) signatures of weakly coupled waves are suppressed by an extra power of the tiny conversion efficiency η (~10^-21 for axions, ~10^-33 for gravitons), so experiments cannot establish the quantizat...

  2. Abelian-Higgs vortices in the oscillating axion background

    hep-ph 2025-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Axion oscillations can resonantly amplify electric fields inside Abelian-Higgs vortex cores and induce attractive or repulsive forces between vortices, even in the BPS limit.

  3. High-Frequency Gravitational Wave Detection with Superconducting Qubits

    hep-ph 2026-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    An idealized model shows that Dicke-entangled transmon qubits at the TE212 cavity mode could reach a strain sensitivity of about 5.6e-26 at 5 GHz, scaling as n_q^{-3/4}.

  4. 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.

  5. Probing the axion-electron coupling at cavity experiments

    hep-ph 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Cavity walls radiate microwave photons when axion dark matter generates a chiral magnetic current at the conductor surface, turning existing haloscope data into a bound on the axion-electron coupling g_ae ≲ 10^-5.

  6. The QCD Axion and Neutrino Masses

    hep-ph 2026-08 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    If the QCD axion and neutrino masses share a single symmetry-breaking scale, the axion necessarily couples to neutrinos and can decay into a monochromatic neutrino signal.

  7. ADAMOS: Axion Daily Modulation Searches for Dark Matter at 20 GHz

    hep-ex 2026-02 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    ADAMOS, a proposed 20 GHz thin-shell haloscope, would reach g_aγγ≈4.4×10^-13 GeV^-1 in 30 days and simultaneously search for daily-modulated and transient axion signals.
