Abstract
This paper presents the first search for dark matter axions with mass in the
ranges 76.56 to 76.82 $\mu$eV and 79.31 to 79.53 $\mu$eV using a prototype
setup for the MAgnetized Disk and Mirror Axion eXperiment (MADMAX). The
experimental setup employs a dielectric haloscope consisting of three sapphire
disks and a mirror to resonantly enhance the axion-induced microwave signal
within the magnetic dipole field provided by the 1.6 T Morpurgo magnet at CERN.
Over 14.5 days of data collection, no axion signal was detected. A 95% CL upper
limit on the axion-photon coupling strength down to $|g_{a\gamma}| \sim 2
\times 10^{-11} \mathrm{GeV}^{-1}$ is set in the targeted mass ranges,
surpassing previous constraints, assuming a local axion dark matter density
$\rho_{a}$ of $0.3~\mathrm{GeV}/\mathrm{cm}^3$. This study marks the first
axion dark matter search using a dielectric haloscope.
