Description
The search for QCD axion dark matter is well underway. Many of these searches require detailed knowledge of the axion's cosmological distribution. However, our understanding of axion structure formation is far from complete, due largely to the candidate's highly-degenerate state. This talk presents a new model of axion structure formation that includes the quantum nature of condensed Bose fluids. Theory and preliminary simulations show notable deviations from mean field approaches.
Summary
We are presenting a new model for relic QCD axion structure formation.
