Physics Theory Seminar with Elena Pinetti on Hunting axions with the James Webb Space Telescope

Elena Pinetti (Hosted by Anastasia Sokolenko) from Flatiron Institute will be presenting at the seminar on Hunting axions with the James Webb Space Telescope.

Axions with a mass around 1 eV can decay into near-infrared photons. Utilising blank-sky observations from the James Webb Space Telescope, I search for a narrow emission line due to decaying dark matter and derive leading constraints on the axion-photon coupling in the eV-scale mass range.

This lecture was made possible by the William C. Ferguson Fund.
