Axions were originally proposed to solve the strong CP problem and are among the leading candidates for ultralight dark matter in cosmology. In contrast to particle-like dark matter candidates such as Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) and Freeze-In Massive Particles (FIMPs), axions and axion-like particles can be described as a classical field. This behavior arises from their large...
