=== Relic Axion Dark Matter Exploratory Setup (RADES) === The RADES started searching for axion-like dark matter in 2018, and the first results from this detector were published in early 2021. Although no significant axion signal was detected above the noise background during the 2018 to 2021 period, RADES became the first detector to search for axions above <math>30 \mu eV</math>. CAST helioscope (looks at sun) was made a haloscope (looks at galactic halo) in late 2017.<ref name=":4" /> RADES detector attached to this haloscope has a 1 m long alternating-irises stainless-steel cavity able to search for dark matter axions around <math>34 \mu eV</math>. Further prospects of improving the detector system with enhancements such as superconductive cavities and [[Ferromagnetism|ferro-magnetic]] tunings are being looked into.<ref>{{Cite web|title=CAST: from Solar to Dark Matter Axions searches|url=https://ep-news.web.cern.ch/content/cast-solar-dark-matter-axions-searches|access-date=2021-06-15|website=EP News|language=en}}</ref><ref name=":4" />
