TASI Lectures on the Strong CP Problem and Axions
Abstract
These TASI lectures where given in 2018 and provide an introduction to the Strong CP problem and the axion. I start by introducing the Strong CP problem from both a classical and a quantum mechanical perspective, calculating the neutron eDM and discussing the θ vacua. Next, I review the various solutions and discuss the active areas of axion model building. Finally, I summarize various experiments proposed to look for these solutions.
