The Cosmic Axion Background

Speaker

Dr Nicholas Rodd (CERN)

Description

In this talk I will show that we can detect relativistic axions that are a relic of the early Universe with instruments searching for axion dark matter. I will outline several forms such a cosmic axion background could take, demonstrate how the CaB would appear at an axion haloscope, and explain why current analyses would discard any emerging signal as a background.
