537. Axiogenesis and Kinetic Misalignment with Dissipation from Dark Magnetic Monopoles

Raymond Co (Indiana University)

6/24/26, 2:00 PM

Speaker: Raymond Co

Abstract: We propose a framework in which the QCD axion simultaneously accounts for the baryon asymmetry and contributes to dark matter through its early-universe rotation. A Peccei–Quinn (PQ) field rotation corresponds to a conserved PQ charge, which can be transferred to baryon number via sphaleron processes (axiogenesis) and to the axion abundance through its kinetic...
