Enhanced Matter Power Spectrum from Axion Kination after Big Bang Nucleosynthesis
Raymond T. Co, Nicolas Fernandez, Akshay Ghalsasi +2
Despite stringent constraints from Big Bang Nucleosynthesis (BBN) and cosmic microwave background (CMB) observations, it is still possible for well-motivated particle physics model…

Positive neutrino masses with DESI DR2 via matter conversion to dark energy
S. Ahlen, A. Aviles, B. Cartwright +46
The Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) is a massively parallel spectroscopic survey on the Mayall telescope at Kitt Peak, which has released measurements of baryon acousti…

Axion baryogenesis puts a new spin on the Hubble tension
Raymond T. Co, Nicolas Fernandez, Akshay Ghalsasi +2
We show that a rotating axion field that makes a transition from a matter-like equation of state to a kination-like equation of state around the epoch of recombination can signific…
