Status of DMRadio-50L

ORAL

Abstract

The axion is a compelling dark matter (DM) candidate and solution to the strong charge-parity problem. Lumped-element resonators allow searching for lower mass axions than previously accessible by cavity experiments. DMRadio-50L is resonant lumped-element detector searching for axions in the range 5 kHz - 5 MHz (20 peV - 20neV) with a target sensitivity to axion-photon-photon coupling gɑɣɣ < 5x10-15 GeV-1. The detector consists of a toroidal superconducting magnet, a surrounding toroidal superconducting sheath, and a tunable high-Q LC resonator. In this talk, I will present an overview and status update of DMRadio-50L.
