Proto-neutron stars as cosmic factories for massive axion-like-particles
Alessandro Lella, Pierluca Carenza, Giuseppe Lucente +2
The parameter space of massive axion-like-particles (ALPs) with MeV and coupled with nucleons is largely unexplored. Here, we present new constraints…
Strong cosmological constraints on the neutrino magnetic moment
Pierluca Carenza, Giuseppe Lucente, Martina Gerbino +2
A sizable magnetic moment for neutrinos would be evidence of exotic physics. In the early Universe, left-handed neutrinos with a magnetic moment would interact with electromagnetic…
Probing high-energy solar axion flux with a large scintillation neutrino detector
Giuseppe Lucente, Newton Nath, Francesco Capozzi +2
We investigate the 5.49 MeV solar axions flux produced in the reaction and analyze the potential to detect it with the forthcoming large underground neutrin…
Axion signatures from supernova explosions through the nucleon electric-dipole portal
Giuseppe Lucente, Leonardo Mastrototaro, Pierluca Carenza +3
We consider axions coupled to nucleons and photons only through the nucleon electric-dipole moment (EDM) portal. This coupling is a model-independent feature of QCD axions, which s…
Constraining heavy axion-like particles by energy deposition in Globular Cluster stars
Giuseppe Lucente, Oscar Straniero, Pierluca Carenza +2
Heavy axion-like particles (ALPs), with masses up to a few 100 keV and coupled with photons can be efficiently produced in stellar plasmas, contributing to a significant energy-los…
