  • Axions and Other Similar Particles
    1 91. Axions and Other Similar Particles 91. Axions and Other Similar Particles Revised October 2019 by A. Ringwald (DESY, Hamburg), L.J. Rosenberg (U. Washington) and G. Rybka (U. Washington). 91.1 Introduction In this section, we list coupling-strength and mass limits for light neutral scalar or pseudoscalar bosons that couple weakly to normal matter and radiation. Such bosons may arise from the spon- taneous breaking of a global U(1) symmetry, resulting in a massless Nambu-Goldstone (NG) boson. If there is a small explicit symmetry breaking, either already in the Lagrangian or due to quantum effects such as anomalies, the boson acquires a mass and is called a pseudo-NG boson. Typical examples are axions (A0)[1–4] and majorons [5], associated, respectively, with a spontaneously broken Peccei-Quinn and lepton-number symmetry. A common feature of these light bosons φ is that their coupling to Standard-Model particles is suppressed by the energy scale that characterizes the symmetry breaking, i.e., the decay constant f. The interaction Lagrangian is −1 µ L = f J ∂µ φ , (91.1) where J µ is the Noether current of the spontaneously broken global symmetry. If f is very large, these new particles interact very weakly. Detecting them would provide a window to physics far beyond what can be probed at accelerators. Axions are of particular interest because the Peccei-Quinn (PQ) mechanism remains perhaps the most credible scheme to preserve CP-symmetry in QCD. Moreover, the cold dark matter (CDM) of the universe may well consist of axions and they are searched for in dedicated experiments with a realistic chance of discovery.

Abstract: Ultra-light axions are a compelling dark matter candidate, motivated by the string axiverse, the strong CP problem in QCD, and possible tensions in the CDM model. They are hard to probe experimentally, and so cosmological/astrophysical observations are very sensitive to the distinctive gravitational phenomena of ULA dark matter. There is the prospect of probing fifteen orders of magnitude in mass, often down to sub-percent contributions to the DM in the next ten to twenty years.

  • Dark Radiation from the Axino Solution of the Gravitino Problem
    21st of July 2011 Dark radiation from the axino solution of the gravitino problem Jasper Hasenkamp II. Institute for Theoretical Physics, University of Hamburg, Hamburg, Germany Jasper.Hasenkamp@desy.de Abstract Current observations of the cosmic microwave background could confirm an in- crease in the radiation energy density after primordial nucleosynthesis but before photon decoupling. We show that, if the gravitino problem is solved by a light axino, dark (decoupled) radiation emerges naturally in this period leading to a new upper 11 bound on the reheating temperature TR . 10 GeV. In turn, successful thermal leptogenesis might predict such an increase. The Large Hadron Collider could en- dorse this opportunity. At the same time, axion and axino can naturally form the observed dark matter. arXiv:1107.4319v2 [hep-ph] 13 Dec 2011 1 Introduction It is a new opportunity to determine the amount of radiation in the Universe from obser- vations of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) alone with precision comparable to that from big bang nucleosynthesis (BBN). Recent measurements by the Wilkinson Mi- crowave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) [1], the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT) [2] and the South Pole Telescope (SPT) [3] indicate|statistically not significant|the radi- ation energy density at the time of photon decoupling to be higher than inferred from primordial nucleosynthesis in standard cosmology making use of the Standard Model of particle physics, cf. [4,5]. This could be taken as another hint for physics beyond the two standard models. The Planck satellite, which is already taking data, could turn the hint into a discovery. We should search for explanations from particle physics for such an increase in ra- diation [6,7], especially, because other explanations are missing, if the current mean values are accurate.

  • Collider Signatures of Axino and Gravitino Dark Matter
    2005 International Linear Collider Workshop - Stanford, U.S.A. Collider Signatures of Axino and Gravitino Dark Matter Frank Daniel Steffen DESY Theory Group, Notkestrasse 85, 22603 Hamburg, Germany The axino and the gravitino are extremely weakly interacting candidates for the lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP). We demonstrate that either of them could provide the right amount of cold dark matter. Assuming that a charged slepton is the next-to-lightest supersymmetric particle (NLSP), we discuss how NLSP decays into the axino/gravitino LSP can provide evidence for axino/gravitino dark matter at future colliders. We show that these NLSP decays will allow us to estimate the value of the Peccei–Quinn scale and the axino mass if the axino is the LSP. In the case of the gravitino LSP, we illustrate that the gravitino mass can be determined. This is crucial for insights into the mechanism of supersymmetry breaking and can lead to a microscopic measurement of the Planck scale. 1. INTRODUCTION A key problem in cosmology is the understanding of the nature of cold dark matter. In supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Model, the lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP) is stable if R-parity is conserved [1]. An electrically and color neutral LSP thus appears as a compelling solution to the dark matter problem. The lightest neutralino is such an LSP candidate from the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM). Here we consider two well- motivated alternative LSP candidates beyond the MSSM: the axino and the gravitino. In the following we introduce the axino and the gravitino. We review that axinos/gravitinos from thermal pro- duction in the early Universe can provide the right amount of cold dark matter depending on the value of the reheating temperature after inflation and the axino/gravitino mass.

  • Light Axinos from Freeze-In: Production Processes, Phase Space Distributions, and Ly-Α Forest Constraints
    CTPU-17-25 UT-17-25 Light Axinos from Freeze-in: production processes, phase space distributions, and Ly-α forest constraints Kyu Jung Bae,1 Ayuki Kamada,1 Seng Pei Liew,2 and Keisuke Yanagi3 1Center for Theoretical Physics of the Universe, Institute for Basic Science (IBS), Daejeon 34051, Korea 2Physik-Department, Technische Universit¨atM¨unchen, 85748 Garching, Germany 3Department of Physics, University of Tokyo, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo 113-0033, Japan (Dated: June 2, 2020) We consider freeze-in production of 7 keV axino dark matter (DM) in the supersymmetric Dine-Fischler-Srednicki-Zhitnitsky (DFSZ) model in light of the 3:5 keV line excess. The warmness of such 7 keV DM produced from the thermal bath, in general, appears in ten- sion with Ly-α forest data, although a direct comparison is not straightforward. This is because the Ly-α forest constraints are usually reported on the mass of the conventional warm dark matter (WDM), where large entropy production is implicitly assumed to occur in the thermal bath after WDM particles decouple. The phase space distribution of freeze-in axino DM varies depending on production processes and axino DM may alleviate the tension with the tight Ly-α forest constraints. By solving the Boltzmann equation, we first obtain the resultant phase space distribution of axinos produced by 2-body decay, 3-body decay, and 2-to-2 scattering, respectively. The reduced collision term and resultant phase space distribution are useful for studying other freeze-in scenarios as well. We then calculate the resultant linear matter power spectra for such axino DM and directly compare them with the linear matter power spectra for the conventional WDM.

Both lower and upper bounds on the mass of the sterile neutrino come from astronomical observations. We show that the proper inclusion of the neutrino momentum distribution and the solution of the kinetic equations with the correct coherence breaking terms lead to the near exclusion of the sterile neutrino as a dark matter candidate.
