We identify a new production channel for QCD axions in supernova environments that contributes to axion emissivity for all models solving the strong CP problem. This channel arises at tree-level from a shift-symmetry-breaking operator constructed at next-to-leading order in Chiral Perturbation Theory. In scenarios where model-dependent derivative couplings to nucleons are absent, this sets the strongest model-independent constraint on the axion mass, improving on existing bounds by two orders of magnitude.

    Time-resolved spectroscopy of S-stars around Sgr A* can probe oscillations of the fine-structure constant induced by superradiant axion clouds or dark-matter soliton cores, with future instruments potentially reaching...

  3. Axion Quality Problem: Keep Calm and Baryon

    hep-ph 2025-10 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    The QCD axion can be the Goldstone boson of baryon number in a minimal N_c=N_f supersymmetric QCD sector, with PQ-breaking effects suppressed by dimension N_c+2 operators.
