Proposed half a century ago, the quantum chromodynamics (QCD) axion explains the lack of charge and parity violation in the strong interactions and is a compelling candidate for cold dark matter. The last decade has seen the rapid improvement in the sensitivity and range of axion experiments, as well as developments in theory regarding consequences of axion dark matter. We review here the astrophysical searches and theoretical progress regarding the QCD axion. We then give a historical overview of axion searches, review the current status and future prospects of dark matter axion searches, and then discuss proposed dark matter axion techniques currently in development.

  1. Testing F-theory GUTs with the Axiverse

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    In F-theory GUTs, non-universal ALPs induced by hypercharge flux satisfy g_aγ/m_a well below the QCD axion prediction when gauge couplings unify near the string scale.

  2. Magnetic Turbulence Boosts Supernova Signals of Axion-Photon Conversion

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Turbulent magnetic fields enhance axion-photon conversion signals from supernovae, improving limits on axion-proton and axion-photon couplings by up to two orders of magnitude.

  3. Serendipitous supersymmetric solution to the strong CP problem

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 4.5

    Anomaly-free discrete R-symmetries plus Kim-Nilles regeneration of the mu term force an accidental U(1)_PQ whose spontaneous breaking yields a SUSY DFSZ axion that solves strong CP.

  4. Rich Phenomenology from Simple Ingredients: A Review of Confining Dark Sectors

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 2.0

    Review of confining dark sectors summarizing dark matter candidates, abundance mechanisms, discovery channels, and applications to the abundance similarity puzzle.
