A traveling wave parametric amplifier has been integrated in the haloscope of QUAX experiment. search for dark matter axions performed with a high-$Q$ dielectric cavity immersed an 8 T magnetic field and read by detection chain having system noise temperature about 2.1 K at frequency 10.353 GHz. Scanning conducted varying using sapphire rods into cavity. At multiple operating frequencies, sensitivity instrument was level viable axion models.
