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…
Was There a 3.5 keV Line?
Christopher Dessert, Joshua W. Foster, Yujin Park +1
The 3.5 keV line is a purported emission line observed in galaxies, galaxy clusters, and the Milky Way whose origin is inconsistent with known atomic transitions and has previously…
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…
Limits from the grave: resurrecting Hitomi for decaying dark matter and forecasting leading sensitivity for XRISM
Christopher Dessert, Orion Ning, Nicholas L. Rodd +1
The Hitomi X-ray satellite mission carried unique high-resolution spectrometers that were set to revolutionize the search for sterile neutrino dark matter (DM) by looking for narro…
TASI Lectures on the Particle Physics and Astrophysics of Dark Matter
Benjamin R. Safdi
These lecture notes on the particle physics and astrophysics of dark matter (DM) were delivered at TASI 2022 ``Ten Years After the Higgs Discovery: Particle Physics Now and Future.…
Electromagnetic modeling and science reach of DMRadio-m
DMRadio Collaboration, A. AlShirawi, V. Ankel +45
DMRadio-m is an experiment that is designed to be sensitive to KSVZ and DFSZ QCD axion models in the 10--200\,MHz (41 neV -- 0.83 eV/) range. The experiment uses…
