Invisible axion search methods

P Sikivie - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2021 - APS
In the late 1970s, the axion was proposed as a solution to the strong CP problem, ie, the
puzzle why the strong interactions conserve parity P and the product CP of charge …

Upper limit on the QCD axion mass from isolated neutron star cooling

M Buschmann, C Dessert, JW Foster, AJ Long… - Physical review …, 2022 - APS
The quantum chromodynamics (QCD) axion may modify the cooling rates of neutron stars
(NSs). The axions are produced within the NS cores from nucleon bremsstrahlung and …

Search for axionlike dark matter using solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance

D Aybas, J Adam, E Blumenthal, AV Gramolin… - Physical Review Letters, 2021 - APS
We report the results of an experimental search for ultralight axionlike dark matter in the
mass range 162–166 neV. The detection scheme of our Cosmic Axion Spin Precession …

Axion dark matter detection with CMB polarization

MA Fedderke, PW Graham, S Rajendran - Physical Review D, 2019 - APS
We point out two ways to search for low-mass axion dark matter using cosmic microwave
background (CMB) polarization measurements. These appear, in particular, to be some of …

Stochastic axion scenario

PW Graham, A Scherlis - Physical Review D, 2018 - APS
For the minimal QCD axion model it is generally believed that overproduction of dark matter
constrains the axion mass to be above a certain threshold, or at least that the initial …

Constraints on ultralight scalar bosons within black hole spin measurements from the ligo-virgo gwtc-2

KKY Ng, S Vitale, OA Hannuksela, TGF Li - Physical Review Letters, 2021 - APS
Clouds of ultralight bosons—such as axions—can form around a rapidly spinning black
hole, if the black hole radius is comparable to the bosons' wavelength. The cloud rapidly …

A flavorful factoring of the strong CP problem

P Agrawal, K Howe - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2018 - Springer
A bstract Motivated by the intimate connection between the strong CP problem and the flavor
structure of the Standard Model, we present a flavor model that revives and extends the …

New constraints on axion-like dark matter using a Floquet quantum detector

IM Bloch, G Ronen, R Shaham, O Katz, T Volansky… - Science …, 2022 - science.org
Dark matter is one of the greatest mysteries in physics. It interacts via gravity and composes
most of our universe, but its elementary composition is unknown. We search for …
