Heavy axion in asymptotically safe QCD

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2016-07-25 v1 High Energy Physics - Theory

Abstract

Assuming QCD exhibits an interacting fixed-point behaviour in the ultraviolet regime, I argue that the axion can be substantially heavier than in the conventional case of asymptotically free QCD due to the enhanced contribution of small size instantons to its mass.
