An EFT with inflaton-dependent axion kinetic term organizes direct decay and annihilation production during reheating, yielding ΔN_eff contributions that scale as T_rh^{-2} and T_rh^{4/3} respectively and allowing a two-dimensional map of constraints on Wilson coefficients and reheating temperature.

An EFT Map of Axion Dark Radiation from Reheating
An EFT with inflaton-dependent axion kinetic term organizes direct decay and annihilation production during reheating, yielding ΔN_eff contributions that scale as T_rh^{-2} and T_rh^{4/3} respectively and allowing a two-dimensional map of constraints on Wilson coefficients and reheating temperature.
