Enhanced axion–photon coupling in GUT with hidden photon

We show that the axion coupling to photons can be enhanced in simple models with a single Peccei–Quinn field, if the gauge coupling unification is realized by a large kinetic mixing χ=O(0.1) between hypercharge and unbroken hidden U(1)H. The key observation is that the U(1)H gauge coupling should be...
