Axion Cosmology with Multi-Branch Yang-Mills
Tsubasa Sugeno, Wen Yin
It is known that Yang-Mills theories, especially in the large- limit, exhibit a -vacuum structure with a multi-branched vacuum energy. In this work, we demonstrate that this…
Revisiting axion dark matter with nonlinear transitions
Max Miyazaki, Yuma Narita, Deheng Song +2
Recently, two of the present authors showed that even when the axion momentum is much smaller than its mass, the axion can still behave like radiation if its energy density greatly…
Relativistic Axion with Nonrelativistic Momenta: A Robust Bound on Minimal ALP Dark Matter
Yuma Narita, Wen Yin
The axion-like particle (ALP), a pseudo Nambu-Goldstone boson that couples to two photons, has been studied extensively in recent years as a dark matter candidate. For initial fiel…
Superheavy dark matter from the natural inflation in light of the highest-energy astroparticle events
Kohta Murase, Yuma Narita, Wen Yin
Superheavy dark matter has been attractive as a candidate of particle dark matter. We propose a ``natural" particle model, in which the dark matter serves as the inflaton in natura…
Explaining the KM3-230213A Detection without Gamma-Ray Emission: Cosmic-Ray Dark Radiation
Yuma Narita, Wen Yin
Recently, a high-energy neutrino event, designated KM3-230213A, was observed by the KM3NeT/ARCA detector in the Mediterranean Sea. This event is characterized by a reconstructed mu…
