Axion and Almost Massless Quark as Ingredients of Quintessence
Jihn E. Kim
Abstract
It is pointed out that a natural introduction of quintessence is an axion with an almost massless quark. With an appropriate gauge or discrete symmetry, one can obtain the quintessence potential height of order (0.003 eV)4. Even though the QCD axion with almost massless up quark is a possibility, we stress the almost massless quark in the hidden sector together with the QCD axion toward the quintessence.
