The landscape of QCD axion models

L Di Luzio, M Giannotti, E Nardi, L Visinelli - Physics Reports, 2020 - Elsevier
We review the landscape of QCD axion models. Theoretical constructions that extend the
window for the axion mass and couplings beyond conventional regions are highlighted and …

Whispers from the dark side: Confronting light new physics with NANOGrav data

W Ratzinger, P Schwaller - SciPost Physics, 2021 - scipost.org
The NANOGrav collaboration has recently observed first evidence of a grav-itational wave
background (GWB) in pulsar timing data. Here we explore the possibility that this GWB is …

Overview of the cosmic axion spin precession experiment (CASPEr)

DF Jackson Kimball, S Afach, D Aybas… - Microwave Cavities and …, 2020 - Springer
An overview of our experimental program to search for axion and axion-like-particle (ALP)
dark matter using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques is presented. An …

Axionlike particle production at beam dump experiments with distinct nuclear excitation lines

L Waites, A Thompson, A Bungau, JM Conrad, B Dutta… - Physical Review D, 2023 - APS
Searches for axionlike particles (ALPs) are motivated by the strong CP problem in particle
physics and by unexplained dark matter in astrophysics. In this paper, we discuss novel ALP …

Frequency‐Scanning Considerations in Axionlike Dark Matter Spin‐Precession Experiments

Y Zhang, DA Tumturk, H Bekker, D Budker… - Annalen der …, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
Galactic dark matter may consist of axionlike particles (ALPs) that can be described as an
“ultralight bosonic field” oscillating at the ALP Compton frequency. The ALP field can be …

PMT studies and loop antenna development for the LZ dark matter experiment

TMA Fruth - 2019 - ora.ox.ac.uk
The nature of dark matter remains one of the biggest mysteries of the universe. Extensions to
the Standard Model of particle physics provide potential candidates for dark matter. Such …
