Research interestsI am still at the basic level of my studies, so in present I put all my effort into getting a solid background in theoretical physics, mainly in the particle physics. Parallely I am starting to learn abut our World in much bigger scales, while being introduced to modern cosmology. |

Searching for axions
Recently I took up looking for axions. Axions are hypothetical pseudoscalar particles,
which were proposed in order to solve so called strong CP-problem. Roberto Peccei and Helen Quinn in the late 70's came up to an
idea of introducing new global U(1) symmetry to the QCD Lagrangian, which breaking would imply existence of a pseudo-Goldstone
boson, as was investigated by Steven Weinberg and independently Frank Wilczek. It was named "axion" after a loundry
detergent, since it "clean up a problem with an axial current" (see article by F. Wilczek
arXiv:hep-ph/0502113).

Other interests
Reading. The books I like the most are these one, which in some sense are unique. This uniqueness is based on my individual
feeling, so I won't even try to explain what it means ;) Even more than books I love music. When I was a schoolboy, I was given
an opportunity to taste a little bit of this beautifull world by a violin classes. What remaind from it is my love and admiration
for their beauty. Nowadays I restrict myself only to hearing of violin sounds, with my favourite violinist being Nigel Kennedy.
