Title: Projected sensitivity of DMRadio-m 3 : A search for the QCD axion below 1 μ eV

Abstract

The QCD axion is one of the most compelling candidates to explain the dark matter abundance of the Universe. With its extremely small mass ($$\ll$$1 eV=c2), axion dark matter interacts as a classical field rather than a particle. Its coupling to photons leads to a modification of Maxwell’s equations that can be measured with extremely sensitive readout circuits. DMRadio-m3 is a next-generation search for axion dark matter below 1 μeV using a > 4 T static magnetic field, a coaxial inductive pickup, a tunable LC resonator, and a DC-SQUID readout. It is designed to search for QCD axion dark matter over the range 20 neV ≲ mac2 ≲ 800 neV (5 MHz < ν < 200 MHz). The primary science goal aims to achieve Dine-Fischler-Srednicki- Zhitnitsky sensitivity above mac2 ≈ 120 neV (30 MHz), with a secondary science goal of probing Kim- Shifman-Vainshtein-Zakharov axions down to mac2 ≈ 40 neV (10 MHz).
