Gravitational-Wave Signals for Supernova Explosions of Three-Dimensional Progenitors
Alessandro Lella, Giuseppe Lucente, Daniel Kresse +3
Core-collapse supernovae (SNe) are sources of gravitational waves (GWs) produced by hydrodynamical instabilities and highly time-dependent anisotropies of the neutrino radiation. I…
The COSMIC WISPers White Paper: The physics case for Weakly Interacting Slim Particles
Ariel Arza, Deniz Aybas, Shyam Balaji +124
Axions and other very weakly interacting slim particles (WISPs), with masses below 1 GeV, arise naturally in many extensions of the Standard Model of particle physics. In particula…
Detecting light axions from supernovae in nearby galaxies
Francesca Lecce, Alessandro Lella, Giuseppe Lucente +2
Axion-like particles (ALPs) coupled to nucleons can be efficiently produced in core-collapse supernovae (SNe) and then, if they couple to photons, convert into gamma rays in cosmic…

Francesca Lecce, Alessandro Lella, Giuseppe Lucente +4
Axion-like particles (ALPs) can be copiously produced in binary neutron star (BNS) mergers through nucleon-nucleon bremsstrahlung if the ALP-nucleon couplings are sizable…
Exploring the Dark Universe: A European Strategy for Axions and other WISPs Discovery
Deniz Aybas, Francesca Calore, Michele Cicoli +17
Axions and other very weakly interacting slim (with 1 GeV) particles (WISPs) are a common feature of several extensions of the Standard Model of Particle Physics. The search…

Axions and other putative feebly interacting particles (FIPs) with a mass of tens to several hundreds of keVs can be produced in stellar cores with a Lorentz boost factor $E_a/m_a\…
Ultimate light-shining-through-a-wall experiments to establish QCD axions as the dominant form of dark matter
Sebastian Hoof, Joerg Jaeckel, Giuseppe Lucente
Establishing the axion as the dark matter (DM) particle after a haloscope discovery typically requires follow-up experiments to break the degeneracy between the axion's coupling to…
Probing protoneutron stars with gamma-ray axionscopes
Alessandro Lella, Francesca Calore, Pierluca Carenza +4
Axion-like particles (ALPs) coupled to nucleons can be efficiently produced in the interior of protoneutron stars (PNS) during supernova (SN) explosions. If these ALPs are also cou…

We propose a simple fit function, , to parametrize the luminosities of neutrinos and antineutrinos of all flavors during the protoneutron…
Comprehensive constraints on heavy sterile neutrinos from core-collapse supernovae
Pierluca Carenza, Giuseppe Lucente, Leonardo Mastrototaro +2
Sterile neutrinos with masses up to MeV can be copiously produced in a supernova (SN) core, through the mixing with active neutrinos. In this regard the SN 1987…
Cross section for supernova axion observation in neutrino water Cherenkov detectors
Pierluca Carenza, Giampaolo Co', Maurizio Giannotti +4
Axions coupled to nucleons might be copiously emitted from core-collapse supernovae (SNe). If the axion-nucleon coupling is strong enough, axions would be emitted from the SN as a…
