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 …

Induced gravitational waves with kination era for recent pulsar timing array signals

K Harigaya, K Inomata, T Terada - Physical Review D, 2023 - APS
The evidence of the stochastic gravitational-wave background around the nanohertz
frequency range was recently found by worldwide pulsar timing array (PTA) collaborations …

Kination cosmology from scalar fields and gravitational-wave signatures

Y Gouttenoire, G Servant, P Simakachorn - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2021 - arxiv.org
Kination denotes an era in the cosmological history corresponding to an equation of state
$\omega=+ 1$ such that the total energy density of the universe redshifts as the sixth inverse …

Exclusion of Axionlike-Particle Cogenesis Dark Matter in a Mass Window above

A Quiskamp, BT McAllister, P Altin, EN Ivanov… - Physical Review Letters, 2024 - APS
We report the results of Phase 1b of the ORGAN experiment, a microwave cavity haloscope
searching for dark matter axions in the 107.42–111.93 μ eV mass range. The search …

Probing leptogenesis with the cosmological collider

Y Cui, ZZ Xianyu - Physical Review Letters, 2022 - APS
Leptogenesis is generally challenging to directly test due to the very high energy scales
involved. In this Letter, we propose a new probe for leptogenesis with cosmological collider …

XENON1T excess from anomaly-free axionlike dark matter and its implications for stellar cooling anomaly

F Takahashi, M Yamada, W Yin - Physical Review Letters, 2020 - APS
Recently, an anomalous excess was found in the electronic recoil data collected at the
XENON1T experiment. The excess may be explained by an axionlike particle (ALP) with a …

Axion kinetic misalignment mechanism

RT Co, LJ Hall, K Harigaya - Physical review letters, 2020 - APS
In the conventional misalignment mechanism, the axion field has a constant initial field value
in the early Universe and later begins to oscillate. We present an alternative scenario where …

Photoproduction of heavy QCD axions in supernovae

S Chakraborty, A Gupta, M Vanvlasselaer - Physical Review D, 2024 - APS
Compact stellar objects like supernovae and neutron stars are believed to cool by emitting
axions predominantly via bremsstrahlung (NN→ NN a), pion conversion (π-p+→ N a), and …

Leptogenesis driven by a Majoron

EJ Chun, TH Jung - Physical Review D, 2024 - APS
We propose a leptogenesis scenario where baryon asymmetry generation is assisted by the
kinetic motion of the Majoron, J, in the process of lepton-number violating inverse decays of …

Naturally astrophobic QCD axion

M Badziak, K Harigaya - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023 - Springer
A bstract We present a QCD axion model where the couplings of the axion to nucleons,
electrons, and muons are naturally suppressed because of the appropriate choice of the …
