Axion in large extra dimension
摘要
We examine the axion model in the large extra dimensions scenario with TeV scale gravity. To obtain an intermediate-scale decay constant of the axion, the axion is assumed to live in a sub-spacetime (brane) of the whole bulk. In this model there appear Kaluza-Klein modes of the axion which have stronger interaction than those of the graviton. The axion brane plays a role of absorber of the graviton Kaluza-Klein modes. We discuss various cosmological constraints as well as astrophysical ones and show that the model is viable for certain choices of the dimensionality of the axion brane. The structure of the model proposed here provides a viable realization of the fat brane idea to relax otherwise very severe cosmological constraints.
