Constraints on axionlike dark matter with masses down to $10^{-23}$ eV/c${}^2$

Abstract

We analyzed an 6.7-year span of data from a rotating torsion-pendulum containing $\approx 10^{23}$ polarized electrons to search for the "wind" arising from ultralight, axionlike dark matter with masses between $10^{-23}$ and $10^{-18}$ eV/c${}^2$. Over most of this range we obtain a 95\% confidence limit $F_{\mathrm{a}}/C_{\mathrm{e}}\ge 1\times 10^{15}$ eV on the axionlike decay constant.

Submitted December 20th, 2018 to PRL; Revised exclusion figure to show stellar and other experimental constraints
