Description
Axions may well solve both, the Dark Matter and the strong CP problems.
If they really comprise the dark matter, there are good prospects to detect them in the near future.
Presently already some experiments based on cavities are taking data with a sensitivity that should
lead to an axion dark matter discovery, should their mass be in the "classical invisible axion mass range" around µeV.
Lately, many new experimental approaches have been proposed to also probe complementary, theoretically
very well motivated mass range.
Different haloscope approaches with prospect to being sensitive to dark matter axions will be discussed
and latest results and perspectives of some experiments will be highlighted.
