Search for "Invisible" Axion Dark Matter in the 3.3-4.2~{μ}eV Mass Range
read the original abstract
We report the results from a haloscope search for axion dark matter in the $3.3\text{-}4.2~{\mu}$eV mass range. This search excludes the axion-photon coupling predicted by one of the benchmark models of "invisible" axion dark matter, the KSVZ model. This sensitivity is achieved using a large-volume cavity, a superconducting magnet, an ultra low noise Josephson parametric amplifier, and sub-Kelvin temperatures. The validity of our detection procedure is ensured by injecting and detecting blind synthetic axion signals.

Lights, Camera, Axion: Tracing Axions from Supernovae in the Diffuse $\gamma$-ray Sky
Axions produced in supernovae generate a diffuse gamma-ray signal through conversion in magnetic fields, yielding competitive constraints on the axion-photon coupling from COMPTEL, EGRET, and Fermi-LAT data plus forec...

Landau-Zener formula and resonant axion conversion in neutron star magnetospheres
The Landau-Zener approximation for axion-photon conversion in neutron star magnetospheres fails when resonance width exceeds conversion region size, leading to revised axion constraints from optical-band searches.
