Light QCD Axion Dark Matter from Double Level Crossings

Hai-Jun Li, Ying-Quan Peng, Wei Chao +1

The even light QCD axion called the axion can both solve the strong CP problem and account for the dark matter (DM). We point out that the single and double level…

Axion dark matter with explicit Peccei-Quinn symmetry breaking in the axiverse

Hai-Jun Li

It was shown that the required high quality of the Peccei-Quinn (PQ) symmetry can be a natural outcome of the multiple QCD axions model. In the axiverse, a hypothetical mass mixing…
