2 Reasons for prediction : Strong CP problem CP symmetry in Quantum ChromoDynamics : In standard model : CP violated θ = strong CP violating term = fundamental constant θ 1 Strong CP problem : Large electric dipole moment for the neutron Problem : not observed experimentally ( θ < )
3 Possible solution Peccei Quinn solution to restore CP symmetry : θ fundamental constant = field particle = AXION Challenge : Detect this particle Implication of detecting this new particle : For QCD theory Cosmological implications : Constitutive of dark matter
