Outline of the lecture:
In this lecture I will explain the origin of the Strong CP Problem, which is connected to the non- trivial structure of the vacuum state of the Standard Model. The most natural solution to this problem involves introducing an additional global chiral U(1) symmetry in the theory. Because this symmetry is both spontaneously broken and anomalous, this solution...

Outline of the lecture:
The stringent limit on the electric dipole moment of the neutron forced the issue on the strong CP-problem. The most elegant solution of which is the axion field proposed by Peccei and Quinn. The current limit on the QCD parameter theta coming from the limit on the neutron EDM is of order 10-10. I am going to describe the present status on the...

Outline of the lecture:
A summary of the status of axions and axion-like particles will be given. Special attention is devoted to the recent results of the PVLAS collaboration, which are in conflict with CAST data and with astrophysical constraints. Solutions to this puzzle and the implications for new physics are dicussed. The subject of axion-like particles as dark matter will be...
