Axion minivoids and implications for direct detection
Benedikt Eggemeier, Ciaran A. J. O'Hare, Giovanni Pierobon +2
In the scenario in which QCD axion dark matter is produced after inflation, the Universe is populated by large inhomogeneities on very small scales. Eventually, these fluctuations…
Stochastic Gravitational Waves from Post-inflationary Structure Formation
Benedikt Eggemeier, Jens C. Niemeyer, Karsten Jedamzik +1
Following inflation, the Universe may pass through an early matter-dominated phase supported by the oscillating inflaton condensate. Initially small fluctuations in the condensate…
Structure of Axion Miniclusters
David Ellis, David J. E. Marsh, Benedikt Eggemeier +3
The Peak-Patch algorithm is used to identify the densest minicluster seeds in the initial axion density field simulated from string decay. The fate of these dense seeds is found by…
