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

2019 
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 $F_{\rm a}/C_{\rm e} \geq 1 \times 10^{15}$ eV on the axionlike decay constant.
