abstract

We show that if dark energy evolves in time, its dynamical component could be dominated by a bath of dark radiation. Within current constraints this radiation could have up to $\sim 10^4$ times more energy density than the cosmic microwave background. We demonstrate particular models in which a rolling scalar field generates different forms of dark radiation such as hidden photons, milli-charged particles and even Standard Model neutrinos. We find the leading effect on the late-time cosmological expansion history depends on a single parameter beyond $\Lambda$CDM, namely the temperature of the dark radiation today. Cosmological observations of this modified expansion rate could provide a striking signature of this scenario. The dark radiation itself could even be directly detectable in laboratory experiments, suggesting a broader experimental program into the nature of dark energy.

  1. QCD Axion Dark Matter from level crossing with refined adiabatic condition

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Adiabatic level crossing between a QCD axion and an ALP can convert ALP dark matter into QCD axion dark matter, and a beat-frequency-based adiabatic condition maps the viable parameter region.

  2. Direct Deflection of Millicharged Radiation

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A future superconducting radio-frequency cavity experiment could detect relativistic millicharged particles by picking up the tiny currents their plasma induces in a nearby shielded cavity.

  3. Probing Long-Range Forces Between Neutrinos with Cosmic Structures

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Neutrino long-range forces stronger than gravity would make the cosmic neutrino background collapse into bound states, and existing matter power spectrum and reionization data now exclude a band of couplings for force...
