New pathways in axion searches
New pathways in axion searches Peering through telescopes we have found a deluge of evidence for dark matter. Given the speed that galaxies rotate, as well as theoretical calculations about the evolution of large-scale structure in the Universe, dark matter should make up 85% of the matter in the Universe. Despite considerable evidence in support

MADMAX prototype test at CERN
MADMAX prototype test at CERN Axion : A promising Dark Matter candidate For decades astronomical observations have indicated the existence of large quantities of dark matter in the universe. Until today, the nature of dark matter has not been understood and is therefore a central question in fundamental physics. The axion is among to the

Searching for axions: old and new ideas
Searching for axions: old and new ideas QCD, the theory of strong interactions allows the violation of CP symmetry that would result in a non-zero value for the neutron electric dipole moment. Current measurements constrain the neutron EDM to be one trillionth of the size predicted by QCD (because of CP violation). This means that
