QCD axion-mediated dark matter
Abstract A QCD axion with a decay constant below 1011 GeV is a strongly-motivated extension to the Standard Model, though its relic abundance from the misalignment mechanism or decay of cosmic defects is insufficient to explain the origin of dark matter. Nevertheless, such an axion may still play an...
