Hunting axions with the James Webb Space Telescope

Please join the University of Melbourne, Theoretical Particle Physics Seminar Series for our final seminar of the year, at 11am(AEDT), 8am(AWST) on Wednesday the 29nd of October, given by Elena Pinetti (Flatiron Institute):

 

Hunting axions with the James Webb Space Telescope

 

Axions with a mass around 1 eV can decay into near-infrared photons. Utilizing blank-sky observations from the James Webb Space Telescope, I search for a narrow emission line due to decaying dark matter and derive leading constraints on the axion-photon coupling in the eV-scale mass range.
