Description

In this talk I will discuss the motivation behind this workshop by introducing the dark matter axion and the haloscope technique to search for it. This technique uses microwave cavities to resonantly enhance the conversion rate of axions to potentially detectable levels. I will layout the number of design challenges facing experimental efforts moving forward.
