Amnesia in the Axion Misalignment Landscape
Kierthika Chathirathas, Cem Eröncel, Mathieu Kaltschmidt +2
Pre-inflationary axion cosmologies admit a broad range of initial velocities and angles that generate a landscape of misalignment histories, whose nonlinear fate and small-scale st…
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…
Axions at the meV Crossroads: Theory, Cosmology, Astrophysics, and Experiments
Michele Cicoli, Francesco D'Eramo, Luca Di Luzio +18
The meV mass range has emerged as a focal point in axion physics, where advances in theory, cosmology, astrophysics, and experimental techniques converge. Axions in this mass range…
The Spectrum of Global Axion Strings
Mathieu Kaltschmidt, Javier Redondo, Ken'ichi Saikawa +1
The post-inflationary Peccei-Quinn (PQ) symmetry breaking scenario provides a unique opportunity to pinpoint the QCD axion dark matter mass, which is a crucial input for laboratory…
Spectrum of global string networks and the axion dark matter mass
Ken'ichi Saikawa, Javier Redondo, Alejandro Vaquero +1
Cold dark matter axions produced in the post-inflationary Peccei-Quinn symmetry breaking scenario serve as clear targets for their experimental detection, since it is in principle…
Miniclusters from axion string simulations
Giovanni Pierobon, Javier Redondo, Ken'ichi Saikawa +2
The properties of axion miniclusters and of the voids between them can have very strong implications for the discovery of axions and the dark matter of the Universe. These properti…
