Overview of the DMRadio series of experiments
ORAL
Abstract
The DMRadio Program aims to make a definitive search for pre-inflationary axions with masses below 1 μeV. Such axions could have symmetry breaking scales as high as GUT scales. The experiments in this series rely on LC oscillators to resonantly enhance an axion dark matter signal which arises from the axion inducing an electromagnetic signal in the presence of a magnetic field. In this talk we present an overview of the program. Specifically we discuss the status of DMRadio-50L and DMRadio-m3, as well as future directions with experiments such as DMRadio-GUT.
