Stellar cooling limits on KK gravitons and dark dimensions

Edward Hardy, Anton Sokolov, Henry Stubbs

We revisit cooling bounds on light Kaluza-Klein (KK) gravitons, as arise in the dark dimension scenario, considering red giants, neutron stars, and supernovae. In addition to brems…

Four years of wide-field search for nanosecond optical transients with the TAIGA-HiSCORE Cherenkov array

A. D. Panov, I. I. Astapov, G. M. Beskin +75

It has been previously demonstrated [Panov et al. Physics of Atomic Nuclei 84(2021)1037] that the TAIGA-HiSCORE Cherenkov array, originally built for cosmic ray physics and ultrahi…

Searching for GUT-scale QCD Axions and Monopoles with a High Voltage Capacitor

Michael E. Tobar, Anton V. Sokolov, Andreas Ringwald +1

The QCD axion has been postulated to exist because it solves the strong CP problem. Furthermore, if it exists axions should be created in the early Universe and could account for a…

Primary Cosmic Rays Energy Spectrum and Mean Mass Composition by the Data of the TAIGA Astrophysical Complex

V. Prosin, I. Astapov, P. Bezyazeekov +78

The corrected dependence of the mean depth of the EAS maximum on the energy was obtained from the data of the Tunka-133 array for 7 years and the TAIGA-HiSCORE array for…

The Tunka-Grande scintillation array: current results

A. L. Ivanova, I. Astapov, P. Bezyazeekov +76

The Tunka-Grande experiment is a scintillation array with about 0.5 sq.km sensitive area at Tunka Valley, Siberia, for measuring charged particles and muons in extensive air shower…

Electromagnetic Couplings of Axions

Anton V. Sokolov, Andreas Ringwald

We show that, contrary to assertions in the literature, the main contribution to the axion-photon coupling need not be quantized in the units proportional to . In particular,…

Duality Symmetric Electrodynamics in Curved Spacetime

Anton V. Sokolov

We derive Maxwell equations for electric and magnetic fields in curved spacetime from first principles, relaxing an unnecessary assumption on the structure of the four-potential in…

Search for Astrophysical Nanosecond Optical Transients with TAIGA-HiSCORE Array

A. D. Panov, I. I. Astapov, A. K. Awad +81

A wide-angle Cerenkov array TAIGA-HiSCORE (FOV 0.6 sr), was originally created as a part of TAIGA installation for high-energy gamma-ray astronomy and cosmic ray physics. Arr…

Magnetic anomaly coefficients for QCD axion couplings

Anton V. Sokolov, Andreas Ringwald

We argue that there are both experimental and theoretical reasons to reconsider the construction of KSVZ-like axion models. From the experimental side, predictions for the axion-ph…

Photophilic hadronic axion from heavy magnetic monopoles

Anton V. Sokolov, Andreas Ringwald

We propose a model for the QCD axion which is realized through a coupling of the Peccei-Quinn scalar field to magnetically charged fermions at high energies. We show that the axion…

Reconciling hints on axion-like-particles from high-energy gamma rays with stellar bounds

Gautham Adamane Pallathadka, Francesca Calore, Pierluca Carenza +9

It has been recently claimed by two different groups that the spectral modulation observed in gamma rays from Galactic pulsars and supernova remnants can be due to conversion of ph…

Quest for detection of a cosmological signal from neutral hydrogen with a digital radio array developed for air-shower measurements

D. Kostunin, P. Bezyazeekov, N. Budnev +12

Digital radio arrays are widely used for the low-frequency radio astronomy as well as for detection of air-showers induced by high-energy cosmic rays and neutrinos. Since the radio…

Tunka Advanced Instrument for cosmic rays and Gamma Astronomy

D. Kostunin, I. Astapov, P. Bezyazeekov +79

The paper is a script of a lecture given at the ISAPP-Baikal summer school in 2018. The lecture gives an overview of the Tunka Advanced Instrument for cosmic rays and Gamma Astrono…

Possibility of hypothetical stable micro black hole production at future 100 TeV collider

Anton V. Sokolov, Maxim S. Pshirkov

We study the phenomenology of TeV-scale black holes predicted in theories with large extra dimensions, under the further assumption that they are absolutely stable. Our goal is to…
