Intermediate Scale Accidental Axion and ALPs

preprint2014arXivOpen access

Abstract

We discuss the problem of constructing models containing an axion and axion-like particles, motivated by astrophysical observations, with decay constants at the intermediate scale ranging from 10910^9GeV to 101310^{13}GeV. We present examples in which the axion and axion-like particles arise accidentally as pseudo Nambu-Goldstone bosons of automatic global chiral symmetries, in models having exact discrete symmetries.
