Resonant Landau-Zener conversion in multi-axion systems
/ Dunsky, David I. (New York U., CCPP) ; Manzari, Claudio Andrea (UC, Berkeley ; LBL, Berkeley) ; Quílez, Pablo (UC, San Diego ; CERN) ; Ramos, Maria (CERN) ; Sørensen, Philip (U. Padua, Dept. Phys. Astron. ; INFN, Padua)
Multiple axions may emerge in the low-energy effective theory of Nature. Generically, the potentials describing these axion fields are non-diagonal, leading to mass mixing between axion states which can be temperature-dependent due to QCD instanton effects. [...]

Towards a topological data analysis for heavy-ion collisions
/ Capellino, Federica (Darmstadt, GSI) ; Dubla, Andrea (Darmstadt, GSI) ; Masciocchi, Silvia (Darmstadt, GSI ; Heidelberg U.) ; Nijs, Govert (CERN) ; Spitz, Daniel (Leipzig, Max Planck Inst.)
The collective expansion of the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) created in heavy-ion collisions suggests that geometry-inspired approaches can be useful in extracting information about the QGP. In this work, a systematic study of observables based on topological data analysis is provided for simulations of heavy-ion collisions. [...]

Can galactic magnetic fields diffuse into the voids?
/ Ghosh, Oindrila (Stockholm U., OKC) ; Brandenburg, Axel (Royal Inst. Tech., Stockholm ; Stockholm U., OKC ; Carnegie Mellon U. ; Ilia State U.) ; Caprini, Chiara (CERN ; U. Geneva (main)) ; Neronov, Andrii (APC, Paris ; LASTRO Observ.) ; Vazza, Franco (U. Bologna, DIFA)
Cosmic voids are magnetized at the level of at least $10^{-17}$ G on Mpc scales, as implied by blazar observations. We show that an electrically conducting plasma is present in the voids, and that, because of the plasma, \emph{diffusion} into the voids of galactic fields generated by a mean-field dynamo is far too slow to explain the present-day void magnetization.

Effects of Radiative Corrections on Starobinsky Inflation
/ Ellis, John (King's Coll. London ; CERN) ; Gherghetta, Tony (U. Minnesota, Minneapolis (main)) ; Kaneta, Kunio (Niigata U. (main)) ; Ke, Wenqi (U. Minnesota, Minneapolis (main)) ; Olive, Keith A. (U. Minnesota, Minneapolis (main))
We analyze radiative corrections to the Starobinsky model of inflation arising from self-interactions of the inflaton, and from its Yukawa couplings, $y$, to matter fermions, and dimensionful trilinear couplings, $κ$, to scalar fields, which could be responsible for reheating the Universe after inflation. The inflaton self-interactions are found to be of higher order in the Hubble expansion rate during inflation, and hence unimportant for CMB observations. [...]

Affleck-Dine Leptoflavorgenesis
/ Akita, Kensuke (Tokyo U.) ; Hamaguchi, Koichi (Tokyo U.) ; Ovchynnikov, Maksym (CERN)
We propose a scenario to produce large primordial lepton flavor asymmetries with vanishing total lepton asymmetry, based on the Affleck-Dine mechanism with Q-ball formation. This scenario can produce large lepton flavor asymmetries while automatically maintaining the vanishing total lepton number without fine-tuning, evading the current BBN and the CMB constraints by neutrino oscillations at MeV temperature.

Axion lines from nuclear de-excitations in galactic stellar populations
/ Ning, Orion (UC, Berkeley ; LBL, Berkeley) ; Ray, Anupam (UC, Berkeley) ; Safdi, Benjamin R. (UC, Berkeley ; LBL, Berkeley ; CERN)
We show that mono-energetic axions are produced in abundance through nuclear de-excitations in nearby galaxies such as M87, which is the central galaxy of the Virgo cluster, and the starburst galaxy M82. If the axion couples to both nucleons and photons and is ultralight, then monochromatic hard X-ray signatures are induced by the subsequent axion-to-photon conversion in the magnetic fields permeating these systems.
