We applied an effective approximation into Maxwells equations with an axion interaction for haloscope searches. A set of Maxwells equations acquired from this approximation describes just the reacted fields generated by the anomalous interaction. Unlike other approaches, this set of Maxwells equations inherently satisfies the boundary conditions for haloscope searches. The electromagnetic field solutions from the Maxwells equations were evaluated for both cylindrical and toroidal cavity geometries including when the axion mass becomes ultra-light (sub-meV). A small but non-zero difference between the electric and magnetic stored energies appeared in both cases. The difference may come from an anomalous non-dissipating current induced by oscillating axions.

We generalize the recently proposed $mathcal{PT}$-symmetric axion haloscope to a larger array with more $mathcal{PT}$-symmetric structures. The optimized signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) has a greater enhancement, as well as the signal power. Furthermore, we show that the robustness of the detector towards the variations of the array coupling is the strongest when a binary tree structure is introduced which contains a largely enhanced $mathcal{PT}$ symmetry. The multiple allowed probing sensors can further increase the SNR by a factor of sensors number due to the correlation of the signals. This type of array can strongly boost the search for axion compared to single mode resonant detection. The enhancement to the SNR becomes the most manifest when applied to the newly proposed detection using superconducting radiofrequency caivty with AC magnetic field where most of the parameter space of the QCD axion above kHz can be probed.
We discuss the physics case for and the concept of a medium-scale axion helioscope with sensitivities in the axion-photon coupling a few times better than CERN Axion Solar Telescope (CAST). Search for an axion-like particle with these couplings is mo tivated by several persistent astrophysical anomalies. We present early conceptual design, existing infrastructure, projected sensitivity and timeline of such a helioscope (Troitsk Axion Solar Telescope Experiment, TASTE) to be constructed in the Institute for Nuclear Research, Troitsk, Russia. The proposed instrument may be also used for the search of dark-matter halo axions.
A ferromagnetic axion haloscope searches for Dark Matter in the form of axions by exploiting their interaction with electronic spins. It is composed of an axion-to-electromagnetic field transducer coupled to a sensitive rf detector. The former is a p hoton-magnon hybrid system, and the latter is based on a quantum-limited Josephson parametric amplifier. The hybrid system consists of ten 2.1 mm diameter YIG spheres coupled to a single microwave cavity mode by means of a static magnetic field. Our setup is the most sensitive rf spin-magnetometer ever realized. The minimum detectable field is $5.5times10^{-19},$T with 9 h integration time, corresponding to a limit on the axion-electron coupling constant $g_{aee}le1.7times10^{-11}$ at 95% CL. The scientific run of our haloscope resulted in the best limit on DM-axions to electron coupling constant in a frequency span of about 120 MHz, corresponding to the axion mass range $42.4$-$43.1,mu$eV. This is also the first apparatus to perform an axion mass scanning by changing the static magnetic field.
We present the first results of a search for invisible axion dark matter using a multiple-cell cavity haloscope. This cavity concept was proposed to provide a highly efficient approach to high mass regions compared to the conventional multiple-cavity design, with larger detection volume, simpler detector setup, and unique phase-matching mechanism. Searches with a double-cell cavity superseded previous reports for the axion-photon coupling over the mass range between 13.0 and 13.9$,mu$eV. This result not only demonstrates the novelty of the cavity concept for high-mass axion searches, but also suggests it can make considerable contributions to the next-generation experiments.
Many existing and proposed experiments targeting QCD axion dark matter (DM) can also search for a broad class of axion-like particles (ALPs). We analyze the experimental sensitivities to electromagnetically-coupled ALP DM in different cosmological sc enarios with the relic abundance set by the misalignment mechanism. We obtain benchmark DM targets for the standard thermal cosmology, a pre-nucleosynthesis period of early matter domination, and a period of kination. These targets are theoretically simple and assume $mathcal{O}(1)$ misalignment angles, avoiding fine-tuning of the initial conditions. We find that some experiments will have sensitivity to these ALP DM targets before they are sensitive to the QCD axion, and others can potentially reach interesting targets below the QCD band. The ALP DM abundance also depends on the origin of the ALP mass. Temperature-dependent masses that are generated by strong dynamics (as for the QCD axion) correspond to DM candidates with smaller decay constants, resulting in even better detection prospects.
