New Experimental Observables for the QCD Axion
(University of Waterloo, 2024-07-08)The QCD axion is one of the best motivated extensions to the Standard Model of particle physics that could also serve as the dark matter. The thesis will demonstrate new experimental observables that could be used to search ... -
Placing Limits on Light Axions with EHT Polarimetry via Closure Traces
(University of Waterloo, 2023-08-31)Black holes can amplify incoming bosonic waves via rotational superradiance, inducing bound states of ultralight bosons around them. This phenomenon has the potential to confine the parameter spaces of new bosons. Axions, ...
