| Abstract: |
A number of proposed and ongoing experiments search for axion dark matter with a mass nearing the limit set by small scale structure . However, such models are constrained by the requirement that they yield a matter-power spectrum that matches that of cold dark matter. I will review current and future experimental efforts to detect ultralight axion dark matter and discuss the implications of the matter-power spectrum bound on these experiments. I will also discuss model building techniques to alleviate the bound and their viability to produce detectable ultralight axion dark matter. |
