A confirmed dark photon dark matter detection at 19.5 micro-electronvolts would, via the inflationary production formula, predict tensor modes just below current limits and within reach of next-generation experiments, linking dark matter to inflation.

abstract
We estimate the average flux density of minimally-coupled axion-like particles generated by a laser-driven plasma wakefield propagating along a constant strong magnetic field. Our calculations suggest that a terrestrial source based on this approach could generate a pulse of axion-like particles whose flux density is comparable to that of solar axion-like particles at Earth. This mechanism is optimal for axion-like particles with mass in the range of interest of contemporary experiments designed to detect dark matter using microwave cavities.

Out of the darkness: probing the inflationary era with dark photon dark matter
A confirmed dark photon dark matter detection at 19.5 micro-electronvolts would, via the inflationary production formula, predict tensor modes just below current limits and within reach of next-generation experiments, linking dark matter to inflation.
