Cosmological axion bounds

Abstract

We discuss current cosmological constraints on axions, as well as future sensitivities. Bounds on axion hot dark matter are discussed first, and subsequently we discuss both current and future sensitivity to models in which axions play the role as cold dark matter, but where the Peccei-Quinn symmetry is not restored during reheating.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figures, To appear in the proceedings of 5th Patras Workshop on Axions, WIMPs and WISPs, Durham 13-17 July 200
