Particle physics

a light pseudoscalar boson predicted as the pseudo-Goldstone particle of a broken Peccei-Quinn symmetry that relaxes the QCD vacuum angle to zero.

In particle physics, axion refers to a light pseudoscalar boson predicted as the pseudo-Goldstone particle of a broken Peccei-Quinn symmetry that relaxes the QCD vacuum angle to zero. This meaning comes from Weinberg (1978) in Physical Review Letters.[1]
