Axions: Primed for Discovery and Beyond

by Frank Wilczek (MIT), Karl Van Bibber (Berkeley)

Tuesday 30 Jan 2024, 16:00 → 18:00 Europe/Berlin

Auditorium (DESY Hamburg)

The axion represents a compelling solution to not just one, but possibly two outstanding mysteries in physics today: the Strong CP-problem and the identity of the dark matter of the universe. This colloquium will start with a theoretical view on axions by Frank Wilczek, and continue with a focus on the burgeoning experimental and observational activity in the search for the axion and axion-like particles by Karl Van Bibber. The colloquium will also cover technologies these searches are driving, and what might lie beyond discovery.

This is a hybrid colloquium!
