Cavity magnonics

BZ Rameshti, SV Kusminskiy, JA Haigh, K Usami… - Physics Reports, 2022 - Elsevier
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

J Schütte-Engel, DJE Marsh, AJ Millar… - … of Cosmology and …, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
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 …

Looking forward to lepton-flavor-violating ALPs

L Calibbi, D Redigolo, R Ziegler, J Zupan - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021 - Springer
A bstract We assess the status of past and future experiments on lepton flavor violating (LFV)
muon and tau decays into a light, invisible, axion-like particle (ALP), a. We propose a new …

Searching for dark matter with plasma haloscopes

AJ Millar, SM Anlage, R Balafendiev, P Belov… - Physical Review D, 2023 - APS
We summarize the recent progress of the Axion Longitudinal Plasma Haloscope (ALPHA)
Consortium, a new experimental collaboration to build a plasma haloscope to search for …

Dark matter from an even lighter QCD axion: trapped misalignment

L Di Luzio, B Gavela, P Quilez… - Journal of Cosmology …, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
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?

YK Semertzidis, SW Youn - Science Advances, 2022 - science.org
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

B Eggemeier, CAJ O'Hare, G Pierobon, J Redondo… - Physical Review D, 2023 - APS
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

CAJ O'Hare, E Vitagliano - Physical Review D, 2020 - APS
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 …
