XENON1T窗口中轴子的新宇宙学界限

New cosmological bounds on axions in the XENON1T window

Marius Millea

摘要:

受XENON 1 T实验最近检测到的过量事件的可能的$\sim$ eV质量太阳轴子解释的启发,我重新审视并更新了对该质量范围内轴子的宇宙学约束。我发现,在允许的XENON 1 T质量窗口(DFSZ轴子为0.1 - 4.1 eV,KSVZ轴子为46 - 56 eV)中,只有0.1 - 0.35 eV在95%的置信度下仍然可行。如果一个0.35 eV的DFSZ轴子存在,它将通过下一代CMB-S4实验通过两个独立的物理效应在${\sim}7σ$被检测到。相反,即使CMB-S4与未来的DESI测量相结合,也不能保证可以检测或排除0.1 eV质量的轴子。只要再加热温度不太低,$ΔN_{\rm eff}<0.027$的未来极限可能会排除任何质量范围很广的类轴子粒子,或者,未来对这种类轴子粒子的宇宙学探测可能会成为再加热温度最严格的现有观测下限。

英文摘要:

Motivated by a possible $\sim$ eV-mass solar axion explanation to excess events recently detected by the XENON1T experiment, I revisit and update cosmological constraints on axions in this mass range. I find that of the allowed XENON1T mass window (0.1 - 4.1 eV for DFSZ axions and 46 - 56 eV for KSVZ axions), only 0.1 - 0.35 eV remains viable at 95% confidence given current cosmological probes. If a 0.35 eV DFSZ axion existed, it would be detectable at ${\sim}7σ$ via two independent physical effects with the next-generation CMB-S4 experiment. Conversely, even a combination of CMB-S4 with future DESI measurements falls just short of guaranteeing a 0.1 eV-mass axion can be detected or ruled out. A future limit of $ΔN_{\rm eff}<0.027$ could rule out any generic axion-like particle across a wide range of masses as long as the reheating temperature is not too low, or alternatively, a future cosmological detection of such an axion-like particle could become the tightest existing observational lower bound on the reheating temperature.
