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…
Searching for Dark Pions with the MoEDAL-MAPP Detector at the LHC
Shafakat Arifeen, Pierre-Philippe Ouimet, James Pinfold +1
We investigate the potential for detecting pion-like dark matter within the framework of a Strongly Interacting Massive Particle (SIMP) model using the MoEDAL Apparatus for Penetra…
Minicharged Particle Sensitivity of the MAPP Outrigger Detector
Matti Kalliokoski, Vasiliki A. Mitsou, Marc de Montigny +5
We present a detailed study of the projected background-free sensitivity of the MAPP Outrigger Detector (OD) to minicharged particles (mCPs) at the High-Luminosity Large Hadron Col…
Calibration of Solid State Nuclear Track Detectors for Rare Event Searches
M. Kalliokoski, G. Levi, A. Maulik +9
The calibration of the CR39 and Makrofol Nuclear Track Detectors of the MoEDAL experiment at the CERN-LHC was performed by exposing stacks of detector foils to heavy ion beams with…
MoEDAL search in the CMS beam pipe for magnetic monopoles produced via the Schwinger effect
B. Acharya, J. Alexandre, S. C. Behera +64
We report on a search for magnetic monopoles (MMs) produced in ultraperipheral Pb--Pb collisions during Run-1 of the LHC. The beam pipe surrounding the interaction region of the CM…
Raman Spectroscopy Reveals Photobiomodulation-Induced α-Helix to β-Sheet Transition in Tubulins: Potential Implications for Alzheimer's and Other Neurodegenerative Diseases
Elisabetta Di Gregorio, Michael Staelens, Nazanin Hosseinkhah +5
In this study, we employed a Raman spectroscopic analysis of the amide I band of polymerized samples of tubulin exposed to pulsed low-intensity NIR radiation (810 nm, 10 Hz, 22.5 J…
