CERN Axion Solar Telescope
ID: cern-axion-solar-telescope
The CERN Axion Solar Telescope (CAST) is an experimental facility designed to search for axions, which are hypothetical elementary particles predicted by certain theories beyond the Standard Model of particle physics. Specifically, axions are proposed as solutions to the strong CP problem in quantum chromodynamics (QCD) and are also considered as candidates for dark matter.
