  Galactic dark matter may consist of axionlike particles (ALPs) that can be
described as an "ultralight bosonic field" oscillating at the ALP Compton
frequency. The ALP field can be searched for using nuclear magnetic resonance
(NMR), where resonant precession of spins of a polarized sample can be
sensitively detected. The ALP mass to which the experiment is sensitive is
scanned by sweeping the bias magnetic field. The scanning either results in
detection of ALP dark matter or rules out ALP dark matter with sufficiently
strong couplings to nuclear spins over the range of ALP masses corresponding to
the covered span of Larmor frequencies. In this work, scanning strategies are
analyzed with the goal of optimizing the parameter-space coverage via a proper
choice of experimental parameters (e.g., the effective transverse relaxation
time).
