String theoretic QCD axion with stabilized saxion and the pattern of supersymmetry breaking
نویسندگان
چکیده
String theoretic axion is a prime candidate for the QCD axion solving the strong CP problem. For a successful realization of the QCD axion in string theory, one needs to stabilize moduli including the scalar partner (saxion) of the QCD axion, while keeping the QCD axion unfixed until the low energy QCD instanton effects are turned on. We note that a simple generalization of KKLT moduli stabilization provides such set-up realizing the axion solution to the strong CP problem. Although some details of moduli stabilization are different from the original KKLT scenario, this set-up leads to the mirage mediation pattern of soft SUSY breaking terms as in the KKLT case, preserving flavor and CP as a consequence of approximate scaling and axionic shift symmetries. The set-up also gives an interesting pattern of moduli masses which might avoid the cosmological moduli, gravitino and axion problems.

Saxion Emission from SN1987A
We study the possibility of emission of the saxion, a superpartner of the axion, from SN1987A. The fact that the observed neutrino pulse from SN1987A is in excellent agreement with the current theory of supernovae places a strong bound on the energy loss into any non-standard model channel, therefore enabling bounds to be placed on the decay constant, fa, of a light saxion. The low-energy coupl...
متن کاملHadronic Axion Model in Gauge-Mediated Supersymmetry Breaking and Cosmology of Saxion
Recently we have proposed a simple hadronic axion model within gaugemediated supersymmetry breaking. In this paper we discuss various cosmological consequences of the model in great detail. A particular attention is paid to a saxion, a scalar partner of an axion, which is produced as a coherent oscillation in the early universe. We show that our model is cosmologically viable, if the reheating ...

does not allow the Peccei-Quinn symmetry breaking scale at the grand unification or string scale. Ever since the existence of this upper bound is known, the axion model encounter either it is unattractive because it cannot accomodate the GUT scale or it predicts an intermediate scale. Furthermore in string models with dilaton S, the axion scale is expected to be of order Planck scale. With supe...
متن کاملSupersymmetry Breaking in Superstring Theory by Gaugino Condensation and its Phenomenology
The weakly-coupled heterotic string is known to have problems of dilaton/moduli stabilization, supersymmetry breaking (by hidden-sector gaugino condensation), gauge coupling unification (or the Newton’s constant), QCD axion, as well as cosmological problems involving dilaton/moduli and axion. We study these problems by adopting the point of view that they arise mostly due to our limited calcula...
متن کاملAxions and the Strong CP Problem in M-theory
We examine the possibility that the strong CP problem is solved by stringtheoretic axions in strong-coupling limit of the E8×E 8 heterotic string theory (M -theory). We first discuss some generic features of gauge kinetic functions in compactified M -theory, and examine in detail the axion potential induced by the explicit breakings other than the QCD anomaly of the non-linear U(1)PQ symmetries...
