DESY Particle and Astroparticle Physics Colloquium

Axions: Primed for Discovery and Beyond

Frank Wilczek and Karl Van Bibber (MIT and UC Berkeley)

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.
