Opening up the QCD axion window
We present a new mechanism to deplete the energy density of the QCD axion, making decay constants as high as f[subscript a] ≃ 1017 GeV viable for generic initial conditions. In our setup, the axion couples to a massless dark photon with a coupling that is moderately stronger than the axion coupling...
