Relaxion fluctuations (self-stopping relaxion) and overview of relaxion stopping mechanisms

Abstract In implementations of the electroweak scale cosmological relaxation mechanism proposed so far, the effect of the quantum fluctuations of the homogeneous relaxion field has been ignored. We show that they can grow during the classical cosmological evolution of the relaxion field passing thro...
