摘要：

We report the first results of a high-sensitivity (similar to 10(-23) W) search for light halo axions through their conversion to microwave photons. At the 90% confidence level, we exclude a Kim-Shifman-Vainshtein-Zakharov axion of mass 2.9 x 10(-6) to 3.3 X 10(-6) eV as the dark matter in the halo of our galaxy.
