We study the underlying theory of dielectric haloscopes, a new way to detect dark matter axions. When an interface between different dielectric media is inside a magnetic field, the oscillating axion field acts as a source of electromagnetic waves, which emerge in both directions perpendicular to the surface. The emission rate can be boosted by multiple layers judiciously placed to achieve constructive interference and by a large transverse area. Starting from the axion-modified Maxwell equations, we calculate the efficiency of this new dielectric haloscope approach. This technique could potentially search the unexplored high-frequency range of 10--100 GHz (axion mass 40--400 $\mu$eV), where traditional cavity resonators have difficulties reaching the required volume.

  1. Searching for Dark Photons with a room-temperature dielectric haloscope

    hep-ex 2026-07 accept novelty 6.0

    No excess in 904 h of stack-on data yields a 90% CL limit κ < 4.0×10^{-13} for 1.9 eV/c² dark-photon dark matter with a template-calibrated dielectric-CMOS haloscope.

  2. Comment on the preprint: First Limits on Axion Dark Matter from a DALI Prototype arXiv:2603.21951

    hep-ex 2026-07 conditional novelty 4.0

    Idealized COMSOL modeling of the reported DALI plate stack yields only resonances with negligible axion form factors, so the claimed ALP sensitivity cannot be reproduced.

  3. DALI sensitivity to streaming axion dark matter

    hep-ph 2024-04 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    DALI has sensitivity to axion streams spanning two decades in mass that matches photon coupling strengths of representative axion models.
