We show that, by studying the arrival times of radio pulses from highly-magnetized transient beamed sources, it may be possible to detect light pseudo-scalar particles, such as axions and axion-like particles, whose existence could have considerable implications for the strong-CP problem of QCD as well as the dark matter problem in cosmology. Specifically, such light bosons may be detected with a much greater sensitivity, over a broad particle mass range, than is currently achievable by…

A formalism which is adapted to study the evolution of a photon (axion, graviton) beam in the presence of external fields is developed, and the possibility of detecting axions by a measurement of the magnetically induced birefringence of the vacuum is discussed.
Photon and axion splitting in an inhomogeneous magnetic field
Abstract The axion–photon system in an external magnetic field, when the direction of propagation of axions and photons is orthogonal to the direction of the external magnetic field, displays a
Transient pulsed radio emission from a magnetar
It is shown that XTE J1810 - 197 emits bright, narrow, highly linearly polarized radio pulses, observed at every rotation, thereby establishing that magnetars can be radio pulsars.
Localized axion photon states in a strong magnetic field
Abstract We consider the axion field and electromagnetic waves with rapid time dependence, coupled to a strong time independent, asymptotically approaching a constant at infinity “mean” magnetic
Continuous axion photon duality and its consequences
The axion–photon system in an external magnetic field, when for example considered with the geometry of the experiments exploring axion–photon mixing, displays a continuous axion–photon duality
Spectral Signatures of Photon-Particle Oscillations from Celestial Objects
We give detailed predictions for the spectral signatures arising from photon-particle oscillations in astrophysical objects. The calculations include quantum electrodynamic effects and effects due to

We give an explanation of the $\mathrm{CP}$ conservation of strong interactions which includes the effects of pseudoparticles. We find it is a natural result for any theory where at least one flavor
