DESCRIPTION:Presented by: Benjamin Safdi\, University of California Berkele
 y\n\nAbstract: The quantum chromodynamics axion is one of the most sought-a
 fter beyond the Standard Model particles at present because of its possible
  connections with the strong-CP problem\, dark matter\, and ultraviolet phy
 sics such as Grand Unification and String Theory. However\, axions are noto
 riously difficult to probe in the laboratory because of their weak coupling
 s to matter. In this talk I will overview multiple recent advances that wil
 l help accelerate the search for axions. On the theoretical side\, I will p
 resent the results of recent simulations of axion dark matter production in
  the early Universe after the Big Bang that narrow the possible mass range 
 of the axion. I will then describe a novel laboratory detector setup\, call
 ed ABRACADABRA\, that is sensitive to axions connected with Grand Unificati
 on. I will show that the up-coming DMRadio project\, building off of the su
 ccessful ABRA-10 cm experiment\, will cover some of the most motivated regi
 ons of axion parameter space in the coming years. We may soon know if axion
 s exist within the spectrum of fundamental particles.\n\nHost: Tom DeGrand
