Optically Pumped Magnetometer as a Low Frequency Axion Detector

ORAL

Abstract

We are testing the use of an optically pumped magnetometer as a sensitive magnetic field detector for a dark matter axion search with an LC circuit. We have optimized the experimental design with a 2 T magnet available at Los Alamos National Laboratory. The magnet is being recommissioned, and we report on the progress and sensitivity of this experiment, and possible upgrades.
