The Supersymmetric Axion and Cosmology
نویسنده
چکیده
In this lecture we review several cosmological issues associated with the axion. Axion solves the strong CP problem and is a good candidate for the dark matter. Limits, which are imposed by the value of isocurvature fluctuations fraction in the observed CMBR from WMAP data and the domain wall problem are discussed in a supersymmetric flat direction axion model. This lecture was given at XII’th Baksan International School of Particles and Cosmology, 21-27 April 2003, Baksan Valley, Kabardino-Balkaria.

Axions in Gauge Mediation
In supersymmetric theories, the presence of axions usually implies the existence of a non-compact, (pseudo)moduli space. In gauge mediated models, the axion would seem a particularly promising dark matter candidate. The cosmology of the moduli then constrains the gravitino mass and the axion decay constant; the former can’t be much below 10 MeV; the latter can’t be much larger than 10 GeV. Axin...
متن کاملAxinos in Cosmology and at Colliders
The axino, the fermionic superpartner of the axion, is a well-motivated candidate for cold dark matter if it is the lightest supersymmetric particle. Since the axino couples very weakly to the matter multiplets, the next-to-lightest supersymmetric particle (NLSP) has a long lifetime, which has important consequences for both cosmology and collider phenomenology. Assuming that a charged slepton ...
متن کاملNew Views of Cosmology and the Microworld
The past few years have seen several breakthroughs in particle astrophysics and cosmology. In several cases, new observations can only be explained with the introduction of new fundamental physics. In this talk I summarize some of these recent advances and describe several areas where progress may well be made in the future. More specifically, I focus on supersymmetric and axion dark matter, se...
متن کاملAxionic Extensions of the Standard Model
After a brief review of the axion solution of the strong CP problem, its supersymmetric extension and the superstring axion are discussed. I also present one interesting cosmological scenario, the axino-gravitino cosmology, for the large scale structure of the universe. The standard model describes the low energy phenomena very successfully with 19 free parameters given by Quarks : 6 masses + 4...
متن کاملIsentropic and Isocurvature Axion Perturbations in Inflationary Cosmology
Isentropic and isocurvature axion inflationary perturbations are studied in detail. If isocurvature perturbations are present, COBE requires the inflationary Hubble constant to be rather small, HI < ∼ 10GeV, regardless of the inflation model. Microwave background anisotropies are calculated for CDM models with a mixture of axion and supersymmetric CDM. The angular power spectrum of the microwav...
