A consistent renormalization of a quantum theory of axion-electrodynamics requires terms beyond the minimal coupling of two photons to a neutral pseudoscalar field. This procedure is used to determine the self-energy operators of the…
This paper reports on results from an experiment designed to search for exotic particles interacting with nuclear matter. These particles could be created through the Primakoff coupling between photons and an external magnetic field. Theory…
The Peccei-Quinn (PQ) symmetry does not need to be exact, and even a tiny source of PQ breaking not aligned with the QCD anomaly might have significant phenomenological implications. In this study, we examine the effects of a general class…
We suggest that electron-laser interactions can give rise to resonance phenomena as the intensity varies. A new QED perturbation theory is developed, in which the coupling between an electron and the second quantized laser mode is treated…
We show that the required high quality of the Peccei-Quinn symmetry can be naturally explained in the aligned QCD axion models where the QCD axion arises from multiple axions with decay constants much smaller than the axion window, e.g.,…
We calculate the amplitudes of the axion photoproduction off the nucleon, i.e., $\gamma N \to a N$, within the framework of chiral effective field theory. Several different types of contributions are simultaneously included in our…
