Abstract: The explicit breaking of the PQ symmetry by higher dimensional operators can spoil the dynamical relaxation of the strong CP angle to its minimum of zero. One solution to this PQ “quality problem” is to introduce heavy QCD axions. …

Abstract: The origin of dark matter is a driving question of modern physics. Finding dark matter in the laboratory and elucidating its properties could revolutionize our understanding of the fundamental building blocks of the universe. The common challenges for dark …
Abstract One of the most intriguing questions in physics today is the nature of dark energy that is responsible for the accelerated expansion of the Universe. Three-dimensional maps of galaxies from spectroscopic galaxy surveys provide a giant laboratory to test the …
