Axion dark matter search from terrestrial magnetic fields at extremely low frequencies
read the original abstract
The natural environment of the Earth can act as a sensitive detector for dark matter in ultralight axions. When axions with masses between $1\times10^{-15}\,{\rm eV}$ and $1\times10^{-13}\,{\rm eV}$ pass through the Earth, they interact with the global geomagnetic field, generating electromagnetic (EM) waves in the extremely low-frequency range ($0.3$--$30\,{\rm Hz}$) through axion-photon coupling. This paper is one of a series of companion papers for~\cite{Taruya:2025zql}, focusing on the data analysis method and search results for an axion signal. Utilizing the theoretical predictions of axion-induced EM spectra from a companion study, we analyzed long-term observational data of terrestrial magnetic fields in this frequency band to search for axion-induced signals. Our analysis identified 65 persistent signal candidates with a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) greater than 3. Aside from these candidates, we placed a new upper bound on the axion-photon coupling parameter, significantly refining the previous constraint from CAST by at most two orders of magnitude down to $g_{a\gamma} \lesssim 4\times10^{-13} \,{\rm GeV}^{-1}$ for the axion mass around $3 \times 10^{-14}\,{\rm eV}$.

Bounds on massive graviton-like particles from searches for axion-like particles coupling to photons
Limits on axion-like particles from photon-coupling searches are recast as constraints on massive graviton-like particles across lab, astrophysical, and cosmological experiments using analogous Primakoff and Gertsensh...

Axiverse Lampposts
In a hierarchical multi-axion theory with random couplings, axion field ranges shrink with 1/sqrt(N), generic axion–SM couplings are suppressed, but the QCD axion's coupling is unsuppressed.

Searching for dark photon dark matter from terrestrial magnetic fields
New upper limits on the dark photon kinetic mixing parameter ε are derived from geomagnetic data for masses between 1e-15 and 2e-13 eV, improving prior ground-based constraints.

Earth as a transducer for ultralight bosonic dark-matter detection
The Earth can act as a giant transducer: EM-coupled ultralight dark matter induces a global, radius-enhanced oscillating magnetic field, and existing magnetometer arrays already set leading direct constraints.
