Axion models are well motivated by their ability to solve the strong CP problem in the standard model, and provide a natural candidate for the dark matter which comprises most of the matter in the Universe. As a result, experiments are ongoing worldwide to search for axions and axion-like particles.
This conference aims to review and discuss recent progress in theoretical, phenomenological, and experimental aspects of axion models, as well as scenarios involving new sub-GeV physics such as dark photons, light dark matter, light mediators, and other related topics.
The conference topics include: axion physics and experiments, quantum sensors and their applications in axion detection, physics of dark photons, light dark matter, light mediators and other related topics in cosmology, particle physics, gravity and string phenomenology.
