Center for Axion and Precision Physics Research
Broadly speaking, I am strongly interested in both aspects of the CAPP program, namely axion searches and the measurement of the proton electric dipole moment, together linked to the fundamental time reversal symmetry, ouside the traditional framework of the Standard Model of particle physics (what experts in the field call the Kobayashi-Maskawa framework). Axion searches, on the other hand, can have major cosmological consequences, whether or not an axion is discovered. Axions are in fact thought to provide most of the astronomical dark matter, which constitutes another great mistery in modern physics. My focus is currently on dark matter axion searches.
