  Production and detection of an axion dark matter echo 20m
  
  Electromagnetic radiation with angular frequency equal to half
  the axion mass stimulates the decay of cold dark matter axions
  and produces an echo, i.e. faint electromagnetic radiation
  traveling in the opposite direction. We propose to search
  for axion dark matter by sending out to space a powerful beam
  of microwave radiation and listening for its echo. We estimate
  the sensitivity of this technique in the isothermal and caustic
  ring models of the Milky Way halo, and find it to be a promising
  approach to axion, or axion-like, dark matter detection.

  SUSY, naturalness, landscape and axions 20m
  
  I discuss why SUSY is still natural, how radiative natural SUSY emerges from the landscape and how SUSY saves the axion.
  And tell TomSTories.
