Description
The QCD axion is a particle that has been postulated to be a solution to the strong CP problem and also a candidate for dark matter in the universe. The DMRadio suite of experiments is a resonant, lumped-element search that probes low mass axions below 1 $\mu$eV. To achieve the necessary sensitivities, the development of DMRadio involves high-field DC magnets of various geometries, tunable resonators with high quality factors, and low-noise quantum sensors near and ultimately past the standard quantum limit. In this talk, I will present the design and commissioning status of DMRadio-50L, the first experiment of the program, and the subsequent stages of DMRadio which aim to discover GUT-scale axions.
