Searching for axionlike particles with gamma-ray observations of blazars
- Abstract:
-
Many theories beyond the Standard Model of particle physics predict the existence of axionlike particles (ALPs) that mix with photons in the presence of a magnetic field. Searching for the effects of ALP-photon mixing in astrophysical gamma-ray observations of blazars—jetted active galactic nuclei with their jets pointed towards us—has provided some of the strongest constraints on ALP parameter space so far. The focus of this thesis is a type of search where the magnetic field of the blazar j...
