Recent results from the ABRACADABRA-10cm search for low-mass axion dark matter

Abstract

The presence of dark matter provides some of the most tangible evidence for the existence of physics beyond the Standard Model. One compelling dark matter candidate is the axion, a light boson that was originally postulated as a solution to another outstanding issue, the strong CP problem in QCD. ABRACADABRA-10cm is a demonstrator for lumped element searches for sub-$\mu$eV axion and axion-like dark matter, which look for axion-induced modifications to Maxwell’s equations using a strong magnetic field and quantum electronics. This talk presents recent results from this prototype detector, as well as its current status and plans for the future.
