Axion-pion thermalization rate in unitarized NLO chiral perturbation theory
We compute the axion-pion scattering a π →π π , relevant for the axion thermalization rate in the early Universe, within unitarized next-to-leading-order chiral perturbation theory. The latter extends the range of validity of the chiral expansion of axion-pion scattering and thus provides a crucial ingredient for the reliable determination of the
