Scientific Programme

The scientific program, at the interface of particle physics, cosmology and astrophysics, will focus on several aspects of axion physics that have recently received major developments. A tentative list of topics include

  • Axion Models
  • Axion Dark Matter
  • Thermal Axions
  • Axions in Astrophysical Environments
  • Experimental Searches for Axions
  • The String Axiverse

The aim of the PADUA workshop is to gather experts in the field to discuss recent developments and new ideas. There will be a few talks by invited speakers, in the morning and the afternoon, leaving plenty of time for discussions. The format is intended to provide a relaxed environment where informal discussions and exchange of ideas are nurtured.
