Axions

Friday 1 Jul 2016, 11:00 → 17:30 Europe/Rome

Aula Seminari Ed. 36 (INFN - Laboratori Nazionali di Frascati)

A one day meeting jointly organized with the LNF theory group devoted to the two faces of axion physics: the axion as a possible solution to the strong CP problem in QCD and strings, and the axion as a dark matter candidate.
Invited speakers:
Massimo Bianchi (University of Tor Vergata and INFN), Massimo D'Elia (University of Pisa and INFN), Alessandro Mirizzi (University of Bari and INFN), Elena Perez Del Rio (LNF-INFN), Giancarlo Rossi (University of Tor Vergata and INFN)

11:00 → 11:30 "Topology, Eta', Theta-angle, axions & the like"

Speaker: Giancarlo Rossi (ROMA2)
