Stellar Disruption of Axion Minihalos and Consequences for Direct Axion Detection
Ian DSouza
Scenarios such as the QCD axion with the Peccei-Quinn symmetry broken after inflation predict an enhanced matter power spectrum on sub-parsec scales. These theories lead to the for…

Enhanced Disruption of Axion Minihalos by Multiple Stellar Encounters in the Milky Way
Ian DSouza, Chris Gordon, John C. Forbes
If QCD axion dark matter formed post-inflation, axion miniclusters emerged from isocurvature fluctuations and later merged hierarchically into minihalos. These minihalos, potential…
