The global Peccei-Quinn symmetry under which exotic fermions are charged solves the strong CP problem. Within our general proposal, various setups can be distinguished by probing the axion-to-photon coupling at helioscopes and haloscopes. We also comment on axion dark -matter production in the early Universe. %R 10.1103/PhysRevLett.132.051801 %U https://arxiv.org/abs/2309.06473 %U https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.132.051801 %P 051801-7pp
