Description

We show that dark matter axions or axion-like particles (ALP) induce non-dissipative alternating electric currents in conductors along the external magnetic fields due to the axial anomaly, realizing the chiral magnetic effects. We propose a new experiment to measure this current to detect the dark matter axions or ALP. This non-dissipative currents are the electron medium effects, directly proportional to the axion or ALP coupling to electrons, which depends on their microscopic physics.
