Title:Probing the axion-photon coupling: phenomenological and experimental perspectives. A snowmass white paper
View PDFAbstract:We present a brief overview of the ongoing searches for the axion particle via its coupling to photons. Both the classical QCD axions and more recently proposed Axion-Like-Particles are considered. Astrophysical bounds on the axion-photon coupling come from considerations of stellar energy loss during Helium burning, in both low- and high-mass stars. Helioscopes look for back-conversion of solar axions into x-ray photons in strong laboratory magnetic fields. Finally, haloscopes aim to detect dark matter axions in our galactic halo. Both types of searches are expecting significant advances in the future, which will enable them to probe large, well-motivated parts of the parameter space below the stellar cooling bounds.
