Gravitational waves from a dilaton-induced, first-order QCD phase transition
Aleksandr Chatrchyan, M. C. David Marsh, Charalampos Nikolis
We show that a `QCD dilaton' field, whose vacuum expectation value sets the strong coupling, can render the Quantum Chromodynamic (QCD) confinement transition first-order. The QCD…
On the applicability of the Landau-Zener formula to axion-photon conversion
Pierluca Carenza, M. C. David Marsh
Axions and photons resonantly interconvert in regions where the plasma frequency approximately equals the axion mass. This process is directly analogous to an avoided level crossin…
A 3.55 keV Photon Line and its Morphology from a 3.55 keV ALP Line
Michele Cicoli, Joseph P. Conlon, M. C. David Marsh +1
Galaxy clusters can efficiently convert axion-like particles (ALPs) to photons. We propose that the recently claimed detection of a 3.55--3.57 keV line in the stacked spectra of a…
