Thesis
The cosmology and astrophysics of axion-like particles
- Abstract:
-
In this thesis I study astrophysical and cosmological effects of axion-like particles (ALPs). ALPs are pseudo-scalar particles, which are generally very weakly-interacting, with a coupling đ/M E ¡ B to electromagnetism. They are predicted by many theories which extend the standard model (SM) of particle physics, most notably string theory. String theory compactifications also predict many scalar fields called moduli which describe the s...
