Generalized results of the Axion Dark Matter eXperiment

ORAL

Abstract

Axions are a result of the Peccei-Quinn solution to the strong CP problem and are a compelling dark matter candidate. The Axion Dark Matter eXperiment (ADMX) is a resonant cavity search for dark matter axions in the Milky Way halo and has been recently upgraded with a SQUID amplifier for greater sensitivity. To produce limits on the axion to photon coupling strength, ADMX must assume the density, temperature, and structure of our dark matter halo. Results from a search looking for virialized and near-virialized signals in the most recent data are presented.
