Abstract

We report first results from a large scale search for dark matter axions. The experiment probes axion masses of 1.3-13 micro-eV at a sensitivity which is about 50 times higher than previous pilot experiments. We have already scanned part of this mass range at a sensitivity better than required to see at least one generic axion model, the KSVZ axion. Data taking at full sensitivity commenced in February 1996 and scanning the proposed mass range will require three years. Comment: 4 pages with 4 embedded figures, Postscript, to be published in the Proceedings of the DM 96 conference held in Santa Monica, Feb. 14-16, 1996
