abstract

We have reexamine the effect of entropy production on the cosmic axion density and find that the Peccei-Quinn scale $F_a$ larger than about $10^{15}$~GeV is not allowed even if large entropy is produced by the decays of coherent oscillations or non-relativistic massive particles. We stress that this result is independent of the details of models for the decaying particles.

  1. From Rags to Jeans: Axion Miniclusters from Early matter domination

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    Temperature-dependent axion mass fluctuations in early matter domination source order-unity axion overdensities by equality, yielding two distinct regions in the nonlinear spectrum and estimated minicluster masses.

  2. Catalogues of Cosmologically Self-Consistent Hadronic QCD Axion Models

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Hadronic axion models with d=6 and d=7 heavy-quark decay operators can produce two new cosmologically viable 'islands' at f_a ~ 10^12 and 10^14 GeV, extending the post-inflationary axion search window.

  3. Axion isocurvature and the model-building problem of low-scale inflation

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A light pre-inflationary QCD axion that is all the dark matter forces the inflationary Hubble scale below ~10^7–10^10 GeV and, for canonical slow-roll inflation, confines the inflaton to sub-10^-4 M_Pl of field motion...

  4. Using $\Delta N_{\rm eff}$ to constrain preferred axion model dark matter

    hep-ph 2024-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In preferred axion models with slow heavy-quark decays, axions produced after decoupling form dark radiation that can exceed Planck's ΔNeff bound, excluding much of the parameter space of models D and E.

  5. Axion Perturbations: A General Analytical Treatment

    hep-ph 2025-10 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Axion dark-matter perturbations are determined entirely by the homogeneous axion background's dependence on its initial misalignment angle, plus Weinberg's universal adiabatic-mode term.
