abstract
Axion dark matter coupled via QCD induces a non-zero differential acceleration between test masses of different composition. Tests of the equivalence principle, like the recent MICROSCOPE space mission, are sensitive to such a signal. We use the final released data of the MICROSCOPE experiment, to search for this effect. We find no positive signal consistent with the dark matter model, and set upper limits on the axion-gluon coupling that improve existing laboratory bounds by up to two orders of magnitude for axion masses in the $10^{-17}$ eV to $10^{-13}$ eV range.

LISA forecasts for quadratically coupled ultralight dark matter show competitive or superior sensitivity to terrestrial and astrophysical probes in selected mass windows, free of screening.
Monitor and Beacon TDI combinations reach g_aγ ~ 10^{-13} GeV^{-1} at high frequencies while Sagnac performs better at low frequencies, with ASTROD-GW probing axion-like dark matter masses down to 10^{-20} eV.
Numerical study with realistic LISA orbits and Bayesian methods finds that scalar ULDM signals can be discriminated from quasi-monochromatic GW signals.
