Presentation
The axion dark matter background field can induce electric dipole moment (EDM) oscillations to nuclei via its coupling to the gluon fields. The frequency of oscillations corresponds to the axion mass. The amplitude of the oscillation is at the $10^{-34}$ $e\cdot$cm level for the standard local dark matter density, and it is proportional to the square root of its value. The storage ring EDM...

Presentation
Precision measurements of the kinematics of the weak beta decay processes are a model independent and direct approach to determine the absolute neutrino mass. This presentation reviews the current status of direct neutrino mass searches. The KArlsruhe TRItium Neutrino experiment (KATRIN) is commencing data taking and will be discussed in detail. Future experiments and prospects to detect...

Presentation
The Center for Axion and Precision Physics Research (CAPP) of the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) in Korea has completed the construction of the infrastructure for axion dark matter search experiments. An experiment utilizing a 9 T superconducting magnet with a 127 mm bore diameter placed in a He-3 cryogenic system is currently under preparation. This experiment will employ a new cavity...

Presentation
The Haloscope At Yale Sensitive To Axion CDM (HAYSTAC) utilizes a tunable resonant microwave cavity to search for dark matter axions. In this talk, we will present an overview of the operational details and results from Phase I of the HAYSTAC experiment. This phase relied on a 9.4 T magnet, Josephson parametric amplifiers, and a dilution refrigerator for the operation of the experiment. Axion...

Presentation
We discuss the current status of the ORGAN experiment, a high mass axion haloscope. The goal of ORGAN is to search the promising high axion mass regime, covering the range of masses proposed by the SMASH model.
This talk will include a review of progress and results to date, then cover developments in cavity design and R&D, and the next science run of the primary haloscope experiment....
