Since its prediction, the axion has been considered as the most compelling solution to the strong-CP problem and a leading candidate for cold dark matter. The Center for Axion and Precision Physics Research (CAPP) of the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) in South Korea has completed the construction of the infrastructure for axion dark matter search experiments. Multiple experiments are...

The AMoRE (Advanced Molybdenum based Rare process Experiment) is looking for neutrinoless double beta decay of Mo-100 in molybdate based crystal scintillators by using a cryogenic technique. The crystals equipped with MMC (Metallic Magnetic Calorimeter) phonon and photon sensors are cooled down to 10~20 mK temperatures to detect both thermal and scintillation signals produced by a particle...

An axion can make the electroweak phase transition strongly first-order as required for electroweak baryogenesis even if it is weakly coupled to the Higgs sector. This is essentially because the axion periodicity helps to avoid an instability of the potential regardless of the value of the axion decay constant. Furthermore, the axion can serve as a CP phase relevant to electroweak baryogenesis...
