Description

I will discuss the growth of quantum fluctuations of an axion field rolling down a potential with multiple minima. This effect is particularly relevant for the relaxion mechanism, in which provides an alternarive stopping mechanism, thus modifying the relevant parameter space. I will present new lattice results, and discuss some cosmological aspects.
