Abstract
While most searches for cosmic axions so far focused on their cold relics as (a component of) dark matter, various well-motivated cosmological sources can produce ``boosted'' axions that remain relativistic today. We demonstrate that existing/upcoming neutrino experiments such as Super-Kamiokande, Hyper-Kamiokande, DUNE, JUNO, and IceCube can probe such energetic axion relics. The characteristic signature is the monoenergetic single photon signal from axion absorption induced by the axion-photon coupling. This proposal offers to cover parameter ranges complementary to existing axion searches and provides new opportunities for discovery with neutrino facilities.
