      Guest Lecture: Distinguishing axions from WIMPs as CDM? 1h 15m
      The QCD Axion is a Beyond-the-standard-model Curiosity: introduced to solve the strong CP problem, it is effectively described by a one-particle, one-parameter new physics model, and it contributes Dark Matter which redshifts and grows linear structure like CDM, despite having a mass comparable to a neutrino's. In the scenario where the axion is born after inflation, I will review the growth of Large Scale Structure in the presence of axion CDM, and speculate about axion configurations in our galaxy today.
