The meV Axion Mass Frontier: challenges and opportunities

→ Europe/Rome
Aula Salvini

Aula Salvini

Via Enrico Fermi 54, 00044 Frascati (RM)
Federico Mescia (Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare), Giuseppe Lucente (SLAC)
Description

The workshop "The meV Mass Axion Frontier: Challenges and Opportunities" will gather experts in theory, cosmology, astrophysics, and experiment to assess the motivations, probes, and detection strategies for axions in the meV mass range. Topics of discussion will cover cosmological and astrophysical sources, current experimental efforts, and innovative approaches at the THz frontier.

With generous time allocated for open discussion, the workshop aims to identify key challenges and opportunities in the field and to produce a report that will serve as a foundation for a future community roadmap.

This workshop is supported by the COST Action CA21106 COSMIC WISPers  (PI: A. Mirizzi). This COST Action  focusses on very weakly interacting slim (m<GeV) particles (WISPs) which emerge in several extensions of the Standard Model of Particle Physics. We also acknowledge DOT-GR2 (Pi: M. Angelucci) for providing local support. The logo is courtesy of S. Bertelli.

The workshop will take place in the Salvini Auditorium (Building 36, access via the LNF secondary entrance at Via E. Fermi, 60 – see map).
