Mississippi State Axion Search is the first of its kind light shining through the wall experiment designed to operate using a continuous radio wave emitter as the source of photons. The experiment contains a radio source and a set of detectors separated by a wall. The aim of the experiment is to limit the mass and coupling constants of an axion like particle or a para photon by looking at the photons on the dark side of the tuned cavity. The experiment is projected to be completed by 2016.[http://meetings.aps.org/Meeting/SES12/Event/181650 The Construction of Mississippi State Axion Search][http://meeting.aps.org/Meeting/SES12/Event/181697 Preliminary Results from Mississippi State Axion Search]
