低温下热轴子的产生:QCD相变的光滑处理

Thermal axion production at low temperatures: a smooth treatment of the QCD phase transition

Francesco D'Eramo, Fazlollah Hajkarim, Seokhoon Yun

摘要:

我们研究热轴子生产的限制规模。在更高的温度下,我们扩展了目前的计算,以考虑重夸克的质量,而我们在较低的温度下通过强子散射量化生产。在两个相反的区域之间匹配我们的结果,为我们提供了一个连续的轴子生产率跨越QCD相变。我们采用这样的速率来量化的轴子贡献的有效数量的中微子物种。

英文摘要:

We study thermal axion production around the confinement scale. At higher temperatures, we extend current calculations to account for the masses of heavy quarks, whereas we quantify production via hadron scattering at lower temperatures. Matching our results between the two opposite regimes provides us with a continuous axion production rate across the QCD phase transition. We employ such a rate to quantify the axion contribution to the effective number of neutrino species.
