Abstract:

QCD axion, a weakly interacting, sub-eV particle is a compelling cold dark matter candidate and was originally

postulated as a solution to the strong CP problem. This talk will give an overview of the most sensitive experiment

to probe the QCD axion to date, Axion Dark Matter eXperiment (ADMX). In particular, ADMX has demonstrated 

recent success in reaching the so-called DFSZ sensitivity covering axion mass ranges from 2.66 to 3.3 μeV. 

These results have crucial implications for the future direction of on-going dark matter searches. A summary

highlighting the current ADMX detector technology along with the future direction of the experiment will be

discussed.
