Axion-Gauge Field Dynamics with Backreaction

Kavli Affiliate: Eiichiro Komatsu | First 5 Authors: Koji Ishiwata, Eiichiro Komatsu, Ippei Obata, , | Summary: Phenomenological success of inflation models with axion and SU(2) gauge fields relies crucially on control of backreaction from particle production. Most of the previous study only demanded the backreaction terms in equations of motion for axion and gauge […]

Understanding BBN: the physics and its history

Kavli Affiliate: Michael S. Turner | First 5 Authors: Michael S. Turner, KICP/UChicago, The Kavli Foundation, , | Summary: Big-bang nucleosynthesis (BBN), today a pillar of modern cosmology, began with the trailblazing 1948 paper of Alpher, Bethe and Gamow. In it, they proposed non-equilibrium nuclear processes in the early Universe ($t sim 1000,$sec) and an […]
