Axion Dark Matter Detection using an LC Circuit (1310.8545v2)
Published 31 Oct 2013 in hep-ph, astro-ph.GA, and hep-ex
Abstract: It is shown that dark matter axions cause an oscillating electric current to flow along magnetic field lines. The oscillating current induced in a strong magnetic field $\vec{B}_0$ produces a small magnetic field $\vec{B}_a$. We propose to amplify and detect $\vec{B}_a$ using a cooled LC circuit and a very sensitive magnetometer. This appears to be a suitable approach to searching for axion dark matter in the $10{-7}$ to $10{-9}$ eV mass range.
