Projected sensitivity of : A search for the QCD axion below
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).
