DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Benjamin Safdi\n\n\nAxions are some of the best-moti
 vated beyond the Standard Model particle candidates at present. These ultr
 alight particles may account for the cosmological dark matter and explai
 n other outstanding problems in nature\, such as the strong-CP problem\;
  they also are now known to emerge generically in string theory.  Axio
 ns are expected to couple ultra-weakly with ordinary matter\, which comp
 licates their detection. However\, thanks to recent theoretical\, experime
 ntal\, and observational progress these particles may be discovered or rul
 ed out within the near future. I will review some of the recent ideas that
  may soon play a role in axion discovery\, including lumped-element axion 
 detection and novel observational signatures of axions that emerge in extr
 eme astrophysical environments such as supernovae.\n\n \n \nCoffee and t
 ea will be served at 16h\nOrganised by : Alexander Zhiboedov\n \n \n\nh
