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 …

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 …

Axion dark matter

CB Adams, N Aggarwal, A Agrawal… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2022 - arxiv.org
Axions are well-motivated dark matter candidates with simple cosmological production
mechanisms. They were originally introduced to solve the strong CP problem, but also arise …

A facility to Search for Hidden Particles at the CERN SPS: the SHiP physics case

S Alekhin, W Altmannshofer, T Asaka… - … on progress in …, 2016 - submit.iopscience.iop.org
This paper describes the physics case for a new fixed target facility at CERN SPS. The SHiP
(search for hidden particles) experiment is intended to hunt for new physics in the largely …

Superradiance in string theory

VM Mehta, M Demirtas, C Long… - … of Cosmology and …, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
We perform an extensive analysis of the statistics of axion masses and interactions in
compactifications of type IIB string theory, and we show that black hole superradiance …

A search for ultralight axions using precision cosmological data

R Hlozek, D Grin, DJE Marsh, PG Ferreira - Physical Review D, 2015 - APS
Ultralight axions (ULAs) with masses in the range 1 0-33 eV≤ ma≤ 1 0-20 eV are motivated
by string theory and might contribute to either the dark-matter or dark-energy densities of the …

WISPy cold dark matter

P Arias, D Cadamuro, M Goodsell… - … of Cosmology and …, 2012 - iopscience.iop.org
Very weakly interacting slim particles (WISPs), such as axion-like particles (ALPs) or hidden
photons (HPs), may be non-thermally produced via the misalignment mechanism in the …

Proposal for a cosmic axion spin precession experiment (CASPEr)

D Budker, PW Graham, M Ledbetter, S Rajendran… - Physical Review X, 2014 - APS
We propose an experiment to search for QCD axion and axionlike-particle dark matter.
Nuclei that are interacting with the background axion dark matter acquire time-varying CP …

[HTML][HTML] Observing invisible axions with gravitational waves

M Gorghetto, E Hardy… - Journal of cosmology and …, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
Abstract If the Peccei-Quinn symmetry associated to an axion has ever been restored after
inflation, axion strings inevitably produce a contribution to the stochastic gravitational wave …

Revisiting the SN1987A gamma-ray limit on ultralight axion-like particles

A Payez, C Evoli, T Fischer, M Giannotti… - … of Cosmology and …, 2015 - iopscience.iop.org
We revise the bound from the supernova SN1987A on the coupling of ultralight axion-like
particles (ALPs) to photons. In a core-collapse supernova, ALPs would be emitted via the …
