In this talk, I will review the different mechanisms that have been proposed in the literature in order to solve the strong CP problem with axions that lie outside the canonical QCD axion band. The general strategy involves either enhancing/suppressing a specific Wilson coefficient among the axion couplings to SM fields, or increasing/lowering the axion mass for a given axion scale. Given the...

An annual modulation in the interaction rate of galactic dark matter is expected by the revolution of the Earth around the Sun; a modulation signal compatible with expectations has been observed by the DAMA/LIBRA experiment for about twenty years, being one of the most puzzling experimental results in the field as it has not been confirmed by other dark matter direct detection experiments....

There is no compelling reason for dark matter particles to be elementary, or for their spin to be limited to 0, 1/2, or 1. Composite dark matter, for example, or mirror dark matter, or molecular dark matter with suppressed lower multipoles, may interact with nuclei through high spin operators. I will present a systematic approach to characterize the most general non-relativistic WIMP-nucleus...
