The landscape of QCD axion models

L Di Luzio, M Giannotti, E Nardi, L Visinelli - Physics Reports, 2020 - Elsevier
We review the landscape of QCD axion models. Theoretical constructions that extend the
window for the axion mass and couplings beyond conventional regions are highlighted and …

Cosmological backgrounds of gravitational waves

C Caprini, DG Figueroa - Classical and Quantum Gravity, 2018 - iopscience.iop.org
Gravitational waves (GWs) have a great potential to probe cosmology. We review early
universe sources that can lead to cosmological backgrounds of GWs. We begin by …

Axion cosmology

DJE Marsh - Physics Reports, 2016 - Elsevier
Axions comprise a broad class of particles that can play a major role in explaining the
unknown aspects of cosmology. They are also well-motivated within high energy physics …
