The COSMIC WISPers White Paper: The physics case for Weakly Interacting Slim Particles
Ariel Arza, Deniz Aybas, Shyam Balaji +124
Axions and other very weakly interacting slim particles (WISPs), with masses below 1 GeV, arise naturally in many extensions of the Standard Model of particle physics. In particula…

Planck Constraints on Axion-Like Particles through Isotropic Cosmic Birefringence
Toshiya Namikawa, Kai Murai, Fumihiro Naokawa
We present constraints on isotropic cosmic birefringence induced by axion-like particles (ALPs), derived from the analysis of cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarization measure…

phase ambiguity of cosmic birefringence
Fumihiro Naokawa, Toshiya Namikawa, Kai Murai +2
We point out that the rotation angle of cosmic birefringence, which is a recently reported parity-violating signal in the cosmic microwave background (CMB), has a phase ambigui…
