It was recently shown that a powerful beam of radio/microwave radiation sent out to space can produce detectable back-scattering via the stimulated decay of ambient axion dark matter. This echo is a faint and narrow signal centered at an angular frequency close to half the axion mass. In this article, we provide a detailed analytical and numerical analysis of this signal, considering the effects of the axion velocity distribution as well as the outgoing beam shape. In agreement with the original proposal, we find that the divergence of the outgoing beam does not affect the echo signal, which is only constrained by the axion velocity distribution. Moreover, our findings are relevant for the optimization of the experimental parameters in order to attain maximal signal to noise or minimal energy consumption.
Electromagnetic radiation with angular frequency equal to half the axion mass stimulates the decay of cold dark matter axions and produces an echo, i.e. faint electromagnetic radiation traveling in the opposite direction. We propose to search for axi
We propose a new broadband search strategy for ultralight axion dark matter that interacts with electromagnetism. An oscillating axion field induces transitions between two quasi-degenerate resonant modes of a superconducting cavity. In two broadband
Extending the Standard Model with three right-handed neutrinos and a simple QCD axion sector can account for neutrino oscillations, dark matter and baryon asymmetry; at the same time, it solves the strong CP problem, stabilizes the electroweak vacuum
A number of proposed and ongoing experiments search for axion dark matter with a mass nearing the limit set by small scale structure (${cal O} ( 10 ^{ - 21 } {rm eV} ) $). We consider the late universe cosmology of these models, showing that requirin
This Letter reports results from a haloscope search for dark matter axions with masses between 2.66 and 2.81 $mu$eV. The search excludes the range of axion-photon couplings predicted by plausible models of the invisible axion. This unprecedented sens
