Axion Pyramid

Published on Oct 6

Authors:

Abstract

A pronounced pyramid-shaped enhancement in the axion density power spectrum induced by the QCD phase transition is identified. The enhancement occurs near the horizon scale at the transition, with a characteristic comoving length scale comparable to the size of the Solar System, and amplifies the axion density perturbation by factors exceeding 3.5 times 10^{13} relative to the CDM case. Under the hilltop initial condition, coupling to radiation triggers this enhancement. The initial condition is related to the axion mass, suggesting that observation of the axion pyramid in cosmology may constrain the QCD axion mass.
