“…Note that the region in the N DW = 3 case has been derived under the assumption that the PQ symmetry is protected by a discrete symmetry, so that Planck scale suppressed PQ violating operators are allowed at dimension 10 or higher [69]. In the last two lines the projected sensitivities of various experiments are indicated [70][71][72][73][74][75][76][77].…”

“…Fortunately, there are a number of running (ADMX [71], HAYSTAC [88], OR-GAN [89]), presently being assembled (CULTASK [72], QUAX [90]), or planned (ABRA-CADABRA [73], KLASH [91], MADMAX [74], ORPHEUS [92]) axion dark matter experiments, which cover a large portion of the mass range of interest for axion dark matter in the pre-inflationary PQ symmetry scenario in Model 2.1, see figure 12. Furthermore, in the meV mass range of interest for the post-inflationary PQ symmetry breaking scenario, the model can be probed by the presently being build fifth force experiment ARIADNE [75] and the proposed helioscope IAXO [76], cf.…”

Non-supersymmetric Grand Unified SO(10) × U(1) PQ models have all the ingredients to solve several fundamental problems of particle physics and cosmologyneutrino masses and mixing, baryogenesis, the non-observation of strong CP violation, dark matter, inflation -in one stroke. The axion -the pseudo Nambu-Goldstone boson arising from the spontaneous breaking of the U(1) PQ Peccei-Quinn symmetry -is the prime dark matter candidate in this setup. We determine the axion mass and the low energy couplings of the axion to the Standard Model particles, in terms of the relevant gauge symmetry breaking scales. We work out the constraints imposed on the latter by gauge coupling unification. We discuss the cosmological and phenomenological implications.

“…This region is strongly preferred because the correct axion abundance can be obtained without a tuning of the initial misalignment angle. Dielectric Haloscopes [57] have a similar reach of ADMX-HF and are not displayed in the plot. The IAXO experiment [58] gives instead a bound only at large axiflavon masses m a ≳ meV.…”

Minimal axion model from flavor

We show that solving the flavor problem of the Standard Model with a simple Uð1Þ H flavor symmetry naturally leads to an axion that solves the strong CP problem and constitutes a viable Dark Matter candidate. In this framework, the ratio of the axion mass and its coupling to photons is related to the SM fermion masses and predicted within a small range, as a direct result of the observed hierarchies in quark and charged lepton masses. The same hierarchies determine the axion couplings to fermions, making the framework very predictive and experimentally testable by future axion and precision flavor experiments.

“…Axions are among the most well motivated of the viable dark-matter candidates, with many theories of beyond the standard model physics including mechanisms that can produce ubiquitous axions and other ultralight bosons with the correct abundance to match the observed dark-matter density [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]. The large parameter space where ultralight bosons are good dark-matter candidates has inspired new interest in experimental searches for axion and axionlike searches [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28] as well as other types of ultralight bosonic dark matter , with many experiments in progress.…”

Spin precession experiments for light axionic dark matter

et al. 2018

Axionlike particles are promising candidates to make up the dark matter of the Universe, but it is challenging to design experiments that can detect them over their entire allowed mass range. Dark matter in general, and, in particular, axionlike particles and hidden photons, can be as light as roughly 10 −22 eV (∼10 −8 Hz), with astrophysical anomalies providing motivation for the lightest masses ("fuzzy dark matter"). We propose experimental techniques for direct detection of axionlike dark matter in the mass range from roughly 10 −13 eV (∼10 2 Hz) down to the lowest possible masses. In this range, these axionlike particles act as a time-oscillating magnetic field coupling only to spin, inducing effects such as a timeoscillating torque and periodic variations in the spin-precession frequency with the frequency and direction of these effects set by the axion field. We describe how these signals can be measured using existing experimental technology, including torsion pendulums, atomic magnetometers, and atom interferometry. These experiments demonstrate a strong discovery capability, with future iterations of these experiments capable of pushing several orders of magnitude past current astrophysical bounds.
