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

CAST: from Solar to Dark Matter Axions searches
CAST: from Solar to Dark Matter Axions searches CERN’s Axion Solar telescope (CAST) has been running since 2003 searching for the axion: a hypothetical particle introduced in 1978 as a consequence of the Peccei-Quinn mechanism aiming to solve the strong CP problem, i.e why is the neutron electric dipole moment limit some ten orders of
