Making a Universe with Axions

Chanda Prescod-Weinstein

Abstract:

In this talk, I will give an overview of axion physics. What’s a QCD axion and why do people keep talking about Bose-Einstein condensates in space? I will discuss what we’ve learned from gamma-rays and May learn in future endeavors, including potential intersections with upcoming X-ray missions.
