Strong Bound on Canonical Ultralight Axion Dark Matter from the Lyman-Alpha Forest
Open accessAbstract
We present a new bound on the ultralight axion (ULA) dark matter mass ${m}_{\mathrm{a}}$, using the Lyman-alpha forest to look for suppressed cosmic structure growth: a 95% lower limit ${m}_{\mathrm{a}}>2\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}{10}^{\ensuremath{-}20}\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{eV}$. This strongly disfavors ($>99.7%$ credibility) the canonical ULA with ${10}^{\ensuremath{-}22}\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{eV}<{m}_{\mathrm{a}}<{10}^{\ensuremath{-}21}\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{eV}$, motivated by the string axiverse and solutions to possible tensions in the cold dark matter model. We strengthen previous equivalent bounds by about an order of magnitude. We demonstrate the robustness of our results using an optimized emulator of improved hydrodynamical simulations.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
