The Pooltable Analogy to Axion Physics

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2011-04-15 v1 Astrophysics

Abstract

An imaginary character named TSP finds himself in a playroom whose floor is tilted to one side. However, the pooltable in the playroom is horizontal. TSP wonders how this can be. In doing so, he embarks upon an intellectual journey which parallels that which has been travelled during the past two decades by physicists interested in the Strong CPCP Problem and axion physics.
