Most recent axion coupling exclusion with the hypothesis that axions make up 100% of the local dark matter density. This demonstrates sensitivity to the most plausible DFSZ axion model.

Synthetic generated axion-like signals imposed on real data show what a detection would look like in the data stream. KSVZ and DFSZ axions will be quite obvious!
