The axion is arguably one of the best motivated candidates for dark matter. For a decay constant greater than about 10^9 GeV, axions are dominantly produced non-thermally in the early universe and hence are "cold", their velocity dispersion being small enough to fit to large scale structure. Moreover, such a large decay constant ensures the stability at cosmological time scales and its behaviour as a collisionless fluid at cosmological length scales. Here, we review the state of the art of axion dark matter predictions and of experimental efforts to search for axion dark matter in laboratory experiments.

Axion Quark Nugget Dark Matter: Time Modulations and Amplifications
Simulated AQN dark matter crossing Earth produces relativistic axions at around 10^14 eV/cm2/s with about 10% daily and annual modulations and rare 100 to 10,000 times local flash amplifications.
