Probing ultra-light axion dark matter with the kinetic SZ effect

POSTER

Abstract

We derive mean pairwise velocity spectra as obtained from observations of the kinetic Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect for cosmological models with scale-dependent growth arising in the context of ultra-light axions (ULAs). Such scalar particles with masses in the range $10^{-33}
