Explore the fascinating intersection of axions and neutron stars in this comprehensive 1-hour and 27-minute lecture presented by Malte Buschmann and Joshua Foster at the Galileo Galilei Institute. Delve into the theoretical foundations of axions, hypothetical particles that could potentially solve several outstanding problems in physics, and discover their potential connection to neutron stars, some of the most extreme objects in the universe. Gain insights into cutting-edge research and theories that aim to unravel the mysteries of dark matter, quantum chromodynamics, and the strong CP problem. Learn about the unique properties of neutron stars that make them ideal laboratories for studying axions and how these compact stellar remnants could potentially be used to detect or constrain axion models. Examine the latest observational techniques and proposed experiments designed to search for axion signatures in and around neutron stars, and understand the implications of these studies for particle physics, astrophysics, and cosmology.
