Description

The properties of cold dark matter axions strongly depend on the thermal history of the Universe prior BBN. I show that axion cold dark matter may be a good probe of the pre-BBN epoch since observational properties like the axion mass, its velocity dispersion, and the mass&size of axion miniclusters can be used to distinguish among different scenarios.
