Presentation
The Large Underground Xenon (LUX) experiment recently completed the data-taking phase of its search for direct evidence of dark matter. The detector is instrumented as a dual-phase liquid xenon (LXe) time projection chamber (TPC), providing energy measurement, position information in 3D, and single-scatter event identification.
LUX has obtained the world leading spin-independent exclusion...

ABRACADABRA is a proposed experiment to search for ultralight (10e-14 - 10e-6 eV) axion dark matter. When ultralight axion dark matter encounters a static magnetic field, it sources an effective electric
current that follows the magnetic field lines and oscillates at the axion Compton frequency. In the presence of axion dark matter, a large toroidal magnet will act like an oscillating current...

Presentation
We present a formulation of the Maximum Entropy Principle (MEP) that has provided a precise theoretical determination of the Higgs boson mass, within the context of the Standard Model. Motivated by this result we use MEP to infer the axion mass, taking into account a generic low energy effective theory with an axion-neutrino interaction, in addition to the typical axion-eletromagnetic field...

We present progress of developing axion dark matter search experiment using 18T and 7cm bore diameter high Tc superconducting (HTS) magnet at the Center for Axion and Precision Physics laboratory. This CAPP18T experiment is designed to probe resonance frequency range of 3.5GHz to 4.2GHz which is equivalent to the dark matter axion mass range of 14 ueV to 17 ueV sensitive to the KSVZ coupling....
