How invisible can QCD axions be? From Supernova emission to Cherenkov signals
Luca Di Luzio, Vincenzo Fiorentino, Maurizio Giannotti +2
The paper studies QCD axions that interact only via their gluon coupling, derives constraints from supernova 1987A cooling based on nucleon bremsstrahlung and pion conversion, and…
Constraints on a Light Leptophilic Scalar from Dark-Sector Couplings
Marco Graziani, Giacomo Landini, Federico Mescia +2
We study a minimal framework where a Majorana fermion dark matter particle interacts with a light scalar mediator coupled mainly to electrons. We examine both freeze-out and freeze…
Dark Matter emission at Belle II and NA62 in Minimal Flavor Violation framework
Federico Mescia, Shohei Okawa, Joel Swallow +1
Minimal Flavor Violation (MFV) provides a compelling framework for exploring physics beyond the Standard Model, in which new QCD-singlet fields transforming under the global $\math…
Axion-Like Electrophilic Portal for Pion Dark Matter
Vincenzo Fiorentino, Ji-Heng Guo, Giacomo Landini +1
We investigate a scenario where Strongly Interacting Massive Particle (SIMP) dark matter interacts with an axion-like particle (ALP) that couples exclusively to electrons. This min…
Axions at the meV Crossroads: Theory, Cosmology, Astrophysics, and Experiments
Michele Cicoli, Francesco D'Eramo, Luca Di Luzio +18
The meV mass range has emerged as a focal point in axion physics, where advances in theory, cosmology, astrophysics, and experimental techniques converge. Axions in this mass range…
Scalar Rayleigh Dark Matter: current bounds and future prospects
Daniele Barducci, Dario Buttazzo, Alessandro Dondarini +4
Dark Matter can interact with electroweak gauge bosons via higher-dimensional operators, in spite of being neutral under gauge interactions, much like neutral atoms interact with p…
