The axion provides a solution for the strong CP problem and is one of the leading candidates for dark matter. This paper proposes an axion detection scheme based on quantum nondemolition detection of magnon, i.e., quanta of collective spin…
Axions and other very light axion-like particles appear in many extensions of the Standard Model, and are leading candidates to compose part or all of the missing matter of the Universe. They also appear in models of inflation, dark…
Many theoretically well-motivated extensions of the Standard Model of particle physics predict the existence of the axion and further ultralight axion-like particles. They may constitute the mysterious dark matter in the universe and solve…
