Description
Axions and gravitational waves give rise to electromagnetic signals in the presence of external electromagnetic fields. This phenomenon, known as the Gertsenshtein effect, has garnered significant attention recently, fostering a synergy between the communities searching for gravitational waves and axions. In this talk, I will review this effect and discuss an additional aspect of this synergy, highlighting that axion experiments optimized for detecting polarization effects can also serve as probes for gravitational waves.
