Title: The Strong CP Problem: From Theory to Detection

Abstract: I will explore one of the most profound open questions in particle physics, focusing on some exciting directions of my ongoing research activity: the strong CP problem. I will begin with an overview of the strong CP problem, highlighting solutions based on parity and time-reversal symmetries and their rich phenomenology, which can be probed at present and future collider experiments. I will then turn to the axion solution, including my recent proposal for a network of gamma-ray satellites, currently under construction, that could enable QCD axion detection in the event of a galactic supernova.
