Late Time Cosmological Phase Transitions 1: Particle Physics Models and Cosmic Evolution

AUTHOR Nasa, National Aeronautics and Space Adm
PUBLISHER Independently Published (10/26/2018)
PRODUCT TYPE Paperback (Paperback)

Description
We described a natural particle physics basis for late-time phase transitions in the universe. Such a transition can seed the formation of large-scale structure while leaving a minimal imprint upon the microwave background anisotropy. The key ingredient is an ultra-light pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone boson with an astronomically large (O(kpc-Mpc)) Compton wavelength. We analyze the cosmological signatures of and constraints upon a wide class of scenarios which do not involve domain walls. In addition to seeding structure, coherent ultra-light bosons may also provide unclustered dark matter in a spatially flat universe, omega sub phi approx. = 1.
