The Axion Dark Matter eXperiment (ADMX) is a DOE "Generation 2" direct-detection dark matter project searching for axions in the few to 10s of microeV mass range. It uses a large (100+ liter) RF cavity inserted in an 8 Tesla solenoid magnet to resonantly convert primordial axions to detectable microwave photons. Over the last decade the ADMX experiment has undergone multiple upgrades...

Presentation
The Axion Dark Matter eXperiement (ADMX) is a direct-detection axion dark matter search which has successfully completed searches between 1.9 and 3.7 μeV down to the KSVZ photon-coupling strength limit. The current upgrades will allow ADMX to detect axions with even the most pessimistic couplings in this frequency range. In order to expand the mass reach of the Haloscope detector, ADMX is...

The ultralight axion with mass around 10^{-22} eV is a candidate of dark matter. A distinguishable feature of the ultralight axion is oscillating pressure in time, which produces an oscillation of gravitational potentials. The oscillating potentials can, in principle, be detected by gravitational-wave detectors. I will discuss the detectability of the ultralight axion dark matter through the...

Presentation
At the University of Western Australia we are commissioning a haloscope designed to probe for high mass axions (frequencies greater than 15 GHz) with an initial search focused around 26.6 GHz, in order to perform a direct test of a claimed result suggesting axions at 110 micro-eV. After this, we will move to a wider range of the axion parameter space to test predictions of many theoretical...

The DAMA/LIBRA set-up (about 250 kg highly radiopure NaI(Tl)) is
currently in data taking at the Gran Sasso National Laboratory of
the I.N.F.N. in its phase2. This experiment is dedicated to the
investigation of Dark Matter (DM) particles
in the galactic halo mainly by exploiting the model
independent Dark Matter annual modulation signature.
DAMA/LIBRA collected in its first phase data...
