Abstract:
Micro-eV to 100meV Axion is a popular light dark matter candidate. Haloscope experiments have been developed and shown to be the most sensitive technique to search for Axion dark matter in this mass range. The Haloscope detector relies heavily on microwave technology and Quantum-limited superconducting sensors. Expertise in those fields are essential.

The TASEH (Taiwan Axion Search Experiment with Haloscope) project was established in 2020 to build a Haloscope experiment for 10-20 micro-eV Axion dark matter. Currently the TASEH project is in the development stage and many experimental details are being studied. In this talk, I will report the status of TASEH and some of the technical difficulties that we have encountered. The expected results are also discussed based on our current realistic setup.
