I'm working on a Dark Matter project for my professor currently. Here is the website I made for the project:
http://www.phys.washington.edu/groups/admx/home.html
This is a candidate for DM that would also solve some other stuff. Personally, based on what I've found out about the project, there is a very slim chance of actually detecting one of these Axions because of how little range we can scan and how big of a range these particles can theoretically occupy.
The sad part is that I was at a lunch thing where someone who works on WIMPs was going to give a colloquium later in the day and he said the same thing about his project and pretty much all DM projects: that the chance of detecting something is very slim because pretty much everybody is just taking a shot in the dark as to where to scan.
EDIT: I should note that the website isn't very theory heavy because we wanted laypersons to be able to understand it without getting scared off. The bulk of the theory is in the publications section. I myself had to do quite a bit of research before I fully understood what an Axion was and why it was important, and even now I only understand it qualitatively.
