Cavity magnonics
Cavity magnonics deals with the interaction of magnons—elementary excitations in
magnetic materials—and confined electromagnetic fields. We introduce the basic physics …

Searches for light dark matter using condensed matter systems
Y Kahn, T Lin - Reports on Progress in Physics, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
Identifying the nature of dark matter (DM) has long been a pressing question for particle
physics. In the face of ever-more-powerful exclusions and null results from large-exposure …

More axions from strings
M Gorghetto, E Hardy, G Villadoro - SciPost physics, 2021 - scipost.org
We study the contribution to the QCD axion dark matter abundance that is produced by
string defects during the so-called scaling regime. Clear evidence of scaling violations is …

Axion quasiparticles for axion dark matter detection
It has been suggested that certain antiferromagnetic topological insulators contain axion
quasiparticles (AQs), and that such materials could be used to detect axion dark matter …

Dark matter from an even lighter QCD axion: trapped misalignment
We show that dark matter can be accounted for by an axion that solves the strong CP
problem, but is much lighter than usual due to a Z Script N symmetry. The whole mass range …

Axion dark matter: How to see it?
The axion is a highly motivated elementary particle that could address two fundamental
questions in physics—the strong charge-parity (CP) problem and the dark matter mystery …

Axion minivoids and implications for direct detection
In the scenario in which QCD axion dark matter is produced after inflation, the Universe is
populated by large inhomogeneities on very small scales. Eventually, these fluctuations will …

Cornering the axion with -violating interactions
Besides CP-preserving interactions, axions and axion-like particles may also have small CP-
violating scalar Yukawa interactions with nucleons and electrons. Any such interaction will …
