Axions are peculiar hypothetical particles that could both solve the CP problem of quantum chromodynamics and at the same time account for the dark matter of the universe. Based on a series of lectures by world experts in this field held at CERN (Geneva), this volume provides a pedagogical introduction to the theory, cosmology and astrophysics of these fascinating particles and gives an up-to-date account of the status and prospect of ongoing and planned experimental searches.

Axion Theory.- The Strong CP Problem and Axions.- Axion Cosmology.- Astrophysical Axion Bounds.- Axions and Large Extra Dimensions.- Axions and Their Relatives.- Observations and Experiments.- Magnetic and Electric Dipole Moments in Storage Rings.- Photon-Axion Conversion in Intergalactic Magnetic Fields and Cosmological Consequences.- Microwave Cavity Searches.- Recent Results from the PVLAS Experiment on the Magnetized Vacuum.- Axion Searches in the Past, at Present, and in the Near Future.

Provides a starting part for graduate students and senior scientists in the field of axions and axion-like particles
