First Experimental Bounds on Transverse Plasmon Solar Axions with ANAIS-112

S. J. Hollick, M. Giannotti, J. Ruz +16

Solar axion-like particles (ALPs) can be resonantly produced through the conversion of transverse plasmons in the magnetic field of the solar interior, introducing a production mec…

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…

Direct detection of solar chameleons with electron recoil data from XENONnT

Guan-Wen Yuan, Anne-Christine Davis, Maurizio Giannotti +3

We reassess prospects for direct detection of solar chameleons, in light of recent progress in modeling their production, and the availability of new XENONnT data. We show that the…

Probing the Axion-Nucleon Coupling with Supergiant Stars

Francisco R. Candón, Pablo Casaseca, Maurizio Giannotti +3

A finite axion-nucleon coupling enables the production of axions in stellar environments via the thermal excitation and subsequent de-excitation of the Fe isotope. Given its…

Solar chameleons: Novel channels

Tomás O'Shea, Anne-Christine Davis, Maurizio Giannotti +3

We revisit the flux of chameleons (light scalar particles which could play a role in the dark energy phenomenon) produced in the interior of the Sun. Our novel analysis incorporate…
