[Drand] Workshop 20-22 Sept: ‘Detecting Axion Dark Matter in the Sky and in the Lab’

[David Marsh]

Dear all,

This is a friendly reminder about the workshop of the AxionDM research environment next week. The workshop is held in three 1.5 hour sessions Monday through Wednesday next week. Please find the timing, Zoom link and detailed agenda below.  Note that the agenda now includes also the final session themed ‟quantum matter for axion detection”.

Best wishes,
David Marsh for the AxionDM at Stockholm Team

Dear all,

The VR AxionDM Research Environment (http://axiondm.fysik.su.se<http://axiondm.fysik.su.se/>) brings together in Stockholm researchers from a range of disciplines, aiming to solve the puzzle of dark matter. Initiated in 2020, AxionDM seeks to detect a compelling dark matter candidate -- the axion -- by developing bold new experimental ideas and technologies, and by using astronomical observations to search for complementary signals.

We are excited to invite the Stockholm community to a virtual meeting held in three 1.5 hr sessions on 20-22 Sept (see agenda, zoom link and timing below). We will be sharing our progress so far, and warmly welcome anyone who is interested in actively participating in AxionDM, or else is simply curious!
