Real-time dynamics of axion particle production due to spontaneous decay of a coherent axion field

Abstract: We show that the coherent axion field spontaneously decays by emitting axion particles via quantum tunneling if axion potential has more than one minimum. By employing the -expansion and mean field approximation, we develop a formalism to trace the real-time dynamics of the axion particle production including its backreaction to the coherent axion field. We also present numerical results for the time evolution of various physical quantities including the strength of the coherent axion field, phase-space densit… Show more

“…Inclusion of this lifetime can also be done by taking into account possible imaginary parts in the Hamiltonian, which could arise from quantum loop effects, or alternatively along the line of Ref. [84] in which the decay of an oscillatory axion-condensed vacuum is studied.…”

“…Another proposal comes from axion physics where the cosmological excess of baryons over antibaryons is generated from the rotation of the QCD axion [58]. The complex relationships between elementary particles, which have played a key role at the origin of the universe [59][60][61][62][63][64][65][66][67][68][69][70][71][72][73][74][75] and the relative experimental difficulties, make a clear picture of the fine-tuned primordial mechanisms far away. However, we can say that a unified framework of the micro CPT issue (decoherence, dissipation and axion rotation) must be revealed at a cosmological level in a de Sitter model where the big bang turns out to be geometrically a bifurcation point.…”
