Description

The particle nature of dark matter remains one of the great open questions in physics. The axion has had a renaissance as a dark matter candidate as theoretical studies have improved our understanding of axion cosmology and advances in quantum sensing and cryogenics have opened new opportunities for detection. In this talk, I will review the physics of the axion, its cosmology and the detection techniques that would enable a great discovery wherever the axion is hiding.
