One dark matter candidate is the axion, a light, electrically neutral hypothetical particle. It’s at the center of the Axion Dark Matter Experiment (ADMX), which aims to convert axions into microwave photons using a strong magnet. Axions are thought to interact with matter in a way that may be detected using an axion haloscope, which is designed to convert dark matter axions to detectable microwave photons using a strong magnetic field.
