Joint IQ Initiative & PITT PACC Workshop: Axions, Fundamental and Synthetic
→
US/Eastern
Description
Workshop Goals & Scope: The search for the axion has been a rich source of interdisciplinary collaborations between high energy (HEP) and other fields of physics. As one of the most sought after particles predicted by physics beyond the Standard Model, its detection faces unique challenges as such a light and weakly interacting particle cannot be easily detected using the traditional tools of experimental HEP. To circumvent this difficulty, a number of experiments have been developed that exploit the suitability of quantum systems for axion detection. In parallel, novel materials have been identified which source axion like quasi-particle excitations. The emerging field of axion electrodynamics in magneto-electric media may have promising applications and serve as a useful playground in the search for the fundamental axion which modifies Maxwell’s equations in analogous ways. The goal of this workshop is to bring together experts working on these different aspects of axion physics and foster interdisciplinary collaborations that lead to new ideas both in the search for fundamental axions and electro-dynamical effects of synthetic axions in materials.
