An experimental search for an electric-dipole moment (EDM) of the neutron has been carried out at the Institut Laue-Langevin (ILL), Grenoble. Spurious signals from magnetic-field fluctuations were reduced to insignificance by the use of a cohabiting atomic-mercury magnetometer. Systematic uncertainties, including geometric-phase-induced false EDMs, have been carefully studied. Two independent approaches to the analysis have been adopted. The overall results may be interpreted as an upper limit on the absolute value of the neutron EDM of |d_n| < 2.9 x 10^{-26} e cm (90% CL).

    A chiral U(1) gauge symmetry generates an accidental Peccei-Quinn symmetry broken by mirror QCD, solving the strong CP problem without a light axion while supplying WIMP dark matter, stochastic gravitational waves, an...

  3. Searching for axions with quantum interferometry

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Axion-photon coupling imprints measurable Aharonov-Bohm and Berry phases in superconducting circuits and interferometers, projecting sensitivity to g_aγγ ~ 7.8e-14 GeV^{-1} at m_a ~ 1e-10 eV.

    Time-resolved optical polarimetry of the Crab pulsar is used to place bounds on the axion-photon coupling via oscillating axion fields induced by the pulsar's magnetic field.

  5. Flux Mixing and CP Violation in QCD

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Kinetic mixing between hidden-sector fluxes and QCD's topological sector shifts the effective theta angle and produces nonzero <G tilde G>.

  6. Theoretical and Observational Bounds on Dynamical Chern-Simons Gravity as an Effective Field Theory

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Dynamical Chern-Simons gravity is bounded by causality and perturbativity to produce only tiny corrections on macroscopic gravitational systems.

  7. Looking for Lights from the Darkness: Signals from MeV-scale Solar Axion-like Particles

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Solar axion-like particles up to 5.5 MeV produce off-axis MeV photons via two-body decay, enabling new space and terrestrial searches that could probe g_aγ down to 10^{-12} GeV^{-1}.
