Abstract
We review the motivation for the axion as a solution of the strong CP puzzle and as a candidate for cold dark matter. Then we discuss benchmark axion models and present their predictions concerning axion couplings to the Standard Model and axion dark matter abundance. Finally, we give an overview on the discovery potential of current and planned axion experiments, reaching from axion dark matter direct detection, over searches for solar axions, to direct production and detection of axions in the laboratory.
