SUMMARY:ABRACADABRA: A New Technique To Searching for Axion Like Dark Matte
	r
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Jonathan Ouellet\, MIT\nHosted by: Christopher Grant\
	n\nPart of the HEE Seminar Series.\n\nThe presence of dark matter provides 
	some of the most tangible evidence for the existence of physics beyond the 
	Standard Model. Separately\, long standing problems within the Standard Mod
	el point to new feebly interacting particles to help explain away unnatural
	 fine-tunings. The axion was originally proposed to explain the Strong-CP p
	roblem\, but was subsequently shown to be a uniquely elegant candidate for 
	explaining the dark matter abundance of the Universe. ABRACADABRA is a new 
	experimental program to search for ultralight axion-like dark matter in the
	 sub-μeV mass range all the way down to the QCD couplings. The ABRACADABRA
	-10 cm prototype first took data in 2018 and demonstrated an important proo
	f-of-principle of the detection approach. In this talk\, I will discuss the
	 detection principle behind ABRACADABRA and present the status of the secon
	d run of ABRACADABRA-10 cm\, which increases the sensitivity by an order of
	 magnitude over the 2018 results. I will also discuss the future of a meter
	 scale detector which aims to probe the full range of QCD axion couplings.
