The landscape of QCD axion models

L Di Luzio, M Giannotti, E Nardi, L Visinelli - Physics Reports, 2020 - Elsevier

Observation of microscopic confinement dynamics by a tunable topological θ-angle

WY Zhang, Y Liu, Y Cheng, MG He, HY Wang… - Nature Physics, 2024 - nature.com
The topological θ-angle is central to several gauge theories in condensed-matter and high-
energy physics. For example, it is responsible for the strong CP problem in quantum …

Matter and Antimatter in the Universe

L Canetti, M Drewes, M Shaposhnikov - New Journal of Physics, 2012 - iopscience.iop.org
We review observational evidence for a matter–antimatter asymmetry in the early universe,
which leads to the remnant matter density we observe today. We also discuss bounds on the …
