Experimental searches for axion dark matter
ORAL · Invited
Abstract
Axions are one of the most compelling answers to the question of what makes up the majority of the matter in the universe—the dark matter. Detecting axion dark matter is a challenge, due to the particle's tiny coupling to visible matter and its very low, unknown mass. Several experimental methods have been developed to overcome these challenges, covering a variety of different couplings between axions and the standard model. I will review these experiments with a focus on searches using the axion-photon coupling.
