abstract = {Axion inflation entails a coupling of the inflaton field to
gauge fields through the Chern-Simons term. This results in
a strong gauge field production during inflation, which
backreacts on the inflaton equation of motion. Here we show
that this strongly non-linear system generically experiences
a resonant enhancement of the gauge field production,
resulting in oscillatory features in the inflaton velocity
as well as in the gauge field spectrum. The gauge fields
source a strongly enhanced scalar power spectrum at small
scales, exceeding previous estimates. For appropriate
parameter choices, the collapse of these over-dense regions
can lead to a large population of (light) primordial black
holes with remarkable phenomenological consequences.},
