Axion minicluster power spectrum and mass function — •Andreas Pargner and Thomas Schwetz — Institut für Kernphysik, Karlsruher Institut für Technologie (KIT), 76021 Karlsruhe, Germany

We present a semi-analytical method to calculate the average axion energy density, as well as the power spectrum, from the re-alignment mechanism in a scenario where the Peccei-Quinn symmetry breaking happens after inflation. Furthermore, we develop a modified Press & Schechter approach, suitable to describe the collapse of non-linear density fluctuations during radiation domination. This allows us to make a prediction for the distribution of mass and size of axion miniclusters.
