Photon enhancement in a homogeneous axion dark matter background
Abstract We study the propagation of photons in a homogeneous axion dark matter background. When the axion decay into two photons is stimulated, the photon field exhibits a parametric instability in a small bandwidth centered on one half of the axion mass. We estimate analytically the enhancement fo...
