abstract = {We review searches for closed string axions and
axion–like particles (ALPs) in IIB string flux
compactifications. For natural values of the background
fluxes and TeV scale gravitino mass, the moduli
stabilisation mechanism of the LARGE Volume Scenario
predicts the existence of a QCD axion candidate with
intermediate scale decay constant, fa ~ 109÷12 GeV,
associated with the small cycles wrapped by the branes
hosting the visible sector, plus a nearly massless and
nearly decoupled ALP associated with the LARGE cycle. In
setups where the visible sector branes are wrapping more
than the minimum number of two intersecting cycles, there
are more ALPs which have approximately the same decay
constant and coupling to the photon as the QCD axion
candidate, but which are exponentially lighter. There are
exciting phenomenological opportunities to search for these
axions and ALPs in the near future. For fa ~ 1011÷12 GeV,
the QCD axion can be the dominant part of dark matter and be
detected in haloscopes exploiting microwave cavities. For fa
~ 109÷10 GeV, the additional ALPs could explain
astrophysical anomalies and be searched for in the upcoming
generation of helioscopes and
light–shining–through–a–wall experiments.},
