The Cosmological Dynamics of String Theory Axion Strings
Joshua N. Benabou, Quentin Bonnefoy, Malte Buschmann +2
The quantum chromodynamics (QCD) axion may solve the strong CP problem and explain the dark matter (DM) abundance of our Universe. The axion was originally proposed to arise as the…
Signatures of Primordial Energy Injection from Axion Strings
Joshua N. Benabou, Malte Buschmann, Soubhik Kumar +2
Axion strings are horizon-size topological defects that may be produced in the early Universe. Ultra-light axion-like particles may form strings that persist to temperatures below…
