| Abstract | The nature of dark matter is one of the biggest mysteries in fundamental physics. Observations from astronomers indicate that a large part of the universe is made up of unknown particles that mainly interact through gravity. Understanding what dark matter really is could have significant effects on fields like cosmology, astrophysics, and particle physics. One promising candidate for dark matter is called the axion. The axion is a theoretical particle that comes from some advanced ideas beyond t |
