Digging into Axion Physics with (Baby)IAXO

Abstract

Dark Matter searches have been ongoing for three decades; the lack of a positive discovery of the main candidate, the WIMP, after dedicated efforts, has put axions and axion-like-particles in the spotlight. The three main techniques employed to search for them complement each other well in covering a wide range in the parameter space defined by the axion decay constant and the axion mass. The International AXion Observatory (IAXO) is an international collaboration planning to build the fourth generation axion helioscope, with an unparalleled expected sensitivity and discovery potential. The distinguishing characteristic of IAXO is that it will feature an axion-specific magnet, with a large axion-sensitive cross-section, and will be equipped with x-ray focusing devices and detectors that have been developed for axion physics. In this paper, we review aspects that motivate IAXO and its prototype, BabyIAXO, in the axion and ALPs landscape. As part of this Special Issue, some emphasis is given on the Spanish participation in the project, of which CAPA is a strong promoter
