Excluding MeV-scale QCD axions by at KTeV
Takaya Iwai, Ryosuke Sato, Kohsaku Tobioka +1
An interesting proposal suggests that a QCD axion coupling to the up quark, down quark, and electron remains viable for an axion mass near 10~MeV. In this paper, this possibi…

A particle on a ring or: how I learned to stop worrying and love -vacua
Mohammad Aghaie, Ryosuke Sato
Recently, Ai, Cruz, Garbrecht, and Tamarit (arXiv:2001.07152, arXiv:2404.16026, arXiv:2511.04216) claimed that the strong CP problem can be avoided by adopting a particular order o…

QCD axion from chiral gauge theories
Ryosuke Sato, Shonosuke Takeshita
We present models of axion based on supersymmetric chiral gauge theories. In these models, the PQ symmetry is spontaneously broken by the non-perturbative dynamics of chiral gauge…
