Abstract
The ADMX Collaboration gathered data for its Run 1A axion dark matter search from January 2017 to June 2017, scanning with an axion haloscope over the frequency range 645–680 MHz ($2.66–2.81 μeV$ in axion mass) at Dine-Fischler-Srednicki-Zhitnitskii (DFSZ) sensitivity. The resulting axion search found no axionlike signals comprising all the dark matter in the form of a virialized galactic halo over the entire frequency range, implying lower bound exclusion limits at or below DFSZ coupling at the 90% confidence level. This paper presents expanded details of the axion search analysis of Run 1A, including review of relevant experimental systems, data-taking operations, preparation and interpretation of raw data, axion search methodology, candidate handling, and final axion limits.
