Design of the ADMX G2 Experiment

Axions are hypothetical elementary particles developed as a solution to the Strong CP problem in QCD physics. The properties of light axions also make them a viable candidate for making up all the dark matter in our Universe. In 2018, ADMX probed the 2.81-3.31 ueV axion mass range for axion-photon couplings predicted by the well-motivated DFSZ QCD axion. I will discuss the quantum electronic and cryogenic systems necessary to achieve this sensitivity. I will also discuss improvements made to the system and the current status of the experiment which is in the process of taking data in a new, unexplored, regions of parameter space.
