We report first results from a large scale search for dark matter axions. The experiment probes axion masses of 1.3-13 micro-eV at a sensitivity which is about 50 times higher than previous pilot experiments. We have already scanned part of this mass range at a sensitivity better than required to see at least one generic axion model, the KSVZ axion. Data taking at full sensitivity commenced in February 1996 and scanning the proposed mass range will require three years.

  1. Lights, Camera, Axion: Tracing Axions from Supernovae in the Diffuse $\gamma$-ray Sky

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    Axions produced in supernovae generate a diffuse gamma-ray signal through conversion in magnetic fields, yielding competitive constraints on the axion-photon coupling from COMPTEL, EGRET, and Fermi-LAT data plus forec...

  2. Catalogues of Cosmologically Self-Consistent Hadronic QCD Axion Models

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Hadronic axion models with d=6 and d=7 heavy-quark decay operators can produce two new cosmologically viable 'islands' at f_a ~ 10^12 and 10^14 GeV, extending the post-inflationary axion search window.

  3. Small-instanton effects in an atlas of KSVZ axion models

    hep-ph 2026-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Small-instanton contributions can dominate the QCD axion potential in KSVZ models with many vector-like quarks, raising m_a to tens of MeV and shifting the m_a-g_aγγ relation.

  4. Landau-Zener formula and resonant axion conversion in neutron star magnetospheres

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    The Landau-Zener approximation for axion-photon conversion in neutron star magnetospheres fails when resonance width exceeds conversion region size, leading to revised axion constraints from optical-band searches.

  5. 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.

  6. Resonant enhancement of axion dark matter decay

    hep-ph 2025-07 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Resonant cavities enhance axion dark matter decay to two photons via the Purcell effect, offering a competitive search method implementable with pre-existing heterodyne detection schemes.

  7. Search for dark-matter axions beyond the quantum limit: the Cosmological Axion Sarov Haloscope (CASH) proposal

    hep-ph 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The CASH haloscope proposal projects that Josephson-junction single-photon detectors can reach axion-photon couplings below 1e-15 GeV^-1 in the 38-54 micro-eV mass range, beating the standard quantum limit.

  8. Using $\Delta N_{\rm eff}$ to constrain preferred axion model dark matter

    hep-ph 2024-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In preferred axion models with slow heavy-quark decays, axions produced after decoupling form dark radiation that can exceed Planck's ΔNeff bound, excluding much of the parameter space of models D and E.

  9. Exploration of new experimental strategies for the detection of ultralight dark matter : laboratory searches on ground and in space

    hep-ph 2024-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The thesis derives detailed theoretical sensitivities for several ultralight dark matter detection schemes, including a corrected dish-antenna model showing that focused power is much lower than previously assumed.
