Heavy Vector Triplets at a Muon Collider
Francesca Acanfora, Michael J. Baker, Timothy Martonhelyi +1
Heavy spin-one particles are well-motivated new physics candidates that can have their origin in weakly coupled extensions of the Standard Model gauge group or in strongly coupled…
Dark Higgs-strahlung at Belle II: A distinctive dark sector signature with displaced vertices and missing energy
Francesca Acanfora, Felix Kahlhoefer
Dark photons with kinetic mixing are compelling mediators for the interactions between dark matter and Standard Model particles. While most experimental searches focus on fully vis…
Fusing photons into diphoton resonances at Belle II and beyond
Francesca Acanfora, Roberto Franceschini, Alessio Mastroddi +1
We propose a new search for a diphoton resonance in the final state at Belle II that improves the expected reach compared to the channel in most of the available…
Bounds on scattering of neutral Goldstones
Francesca Acanfora, Andrea Guerrieri, Kelian Häring +1
We study the space of scattering amplitudes of neutral Goldstone bosons in four space-time dimensions. We establish universal bounds on the first two non-universal Wilson…
Fusing photons into nothing, a new search for invisible ALPs and Dark Matter at Belle II
Francesca Acanfora, Roberto Franceschini, Alessio Mastroddi +1
We consider an axion-like particle coupled to the Standard Model photons and decaying invisibly at Belle II. We propose a new search in the channel that w…
Machine learning-based classification of vector vortex beams
Taira Giordani, Alessia Suprano, Emanuele Polino +6
Structured light is attracting significant attention for its diverse applications in both classical and quantum optics. The so-called vector vortex beams display peculiar propertie…
Sub-GeV Dark Matter in Superfluid He-4: an Effective Theory Approach
Francesca Acanfora, Angelo Esposito, Antonio D. Polosa
We employ an effective field theory to study the detectability of sub-GeV dark matter through its interaction with the gapless excitations of superfluid helium-4. In a quantum fiel…
