The QUAX proposal studies the interaction of dark matter axions with electrons. As the effect of axions can be described as an effective magnetic field, the signal is a magnetization oscillation of a sample. To detect it, the material is placed in a resonant cavity and polarized with a static magnetic field. Here we describe the operation of such a device, with a resonance frequency of 14 GHz, corresponding to an axion mass ma = 58 μeV. Eventually some recent developments on the resonant cavities design and test are detailed.
