Current upper bounds of the neutron electric dipole moment constrain the physically observable quantum chromodynamic (QCD) vacuum angle | θ| 10 −11 . Since QCD explains vast experimental data from the 100 MeV scale to the TeV scale, it is better to explain this smallness of | θ| in the QCD framework, which is the strong CP problem. Now, there exist two plausible solutions to this problem, one of which leads to the existence of the very light axion. The axion decay constant window, 10 9 GeV Fa 10 12 GeV for a O(1) initial misalignment angle θ1, has been obtained by astrophysical and cosmological data. For Fa 10 12 GeV with θ1 < O(1), axions may constitute a significant fraction of dark matter of the universe. The supersymmetrized axion solution of the strong CP problem introduces its superpartner the axino which might have affected the universe evolution significantly. Here, we review the very light axion (theory, supersymmetrization, and models) with the most recent particle, astrophysical and cosmological data, and present prospects for its discovery.
