Is the Turner Window Open? Seeking Closure with Resonant Absorption of Galactic Axions in NaI Dark Matter Detectors
W. C. Haxton, Xing Liu, Anupam Ray +1
Motivated by the DAMA/LIBRA annual modulation signal, the dark matter community has invested heavily in ultra-clean underground NaI detectors to search for light WIMPs. We point ou…
The Effective Theory of Muon-to-Electron Conversion
W. C. Haxton, Evan Rule
We summarize recent work to develop an effective theory of muon-to-electron conversion, based on a complete set of low-energy effective operators that are developed from a systemat…
The Gallium Solar Neutrino Capture Cross Section Revisited
W. C. Haxton, Evan Rule
Solar neutrino flux constraints from the legacy GALLEX/GNO and SAGE experiments continue to influence contemporary global analyses of neutrino properties. The constraints depend on…
Nuclear-level effective theory of conversion: Inelastic process
W. C. Haxton, Evan Rule
Mu2e and COMET will search for electrons produced via the neutrinoless conversion of stopped muons bound in 1s atomic orbits of Al, improving existing limits on charged lept…
Effective theory tower for conversion
Wick Haxton, Kenneth McElvain, Tony Menzo +2
We present theoretical predictions for conversion rates using a tower of effective field theories connecting the UV to nuclear physics scales. The interactions in…
Solar fusion III: New data and theory for hydrogen-burning stars
B. Acharya, M. Aliotta, A. B. Balantekin +47
In stars that lie on the main sequence in the Hertzsprung-Russel diagram, like our sun, hydrogen is fused to helium in a number of nuclear reaction chains and series, such as the p…
Distinguishing charged lepton flavor violation scenarios with inelastic conversion
W. C. Haxton, Evan Rule
The Mu2e and COMET experiments are expected to improve existing limits on charged lepton flavor violation (CLFV) by roughly four orders of magnitude. conversion ex…
Nuclear-Level Effective Theory of Conversion
Evan Rule, W. C. Haxton, Ken McElvain
The Mu2e and COMET conversion experiments are expected to significantly advance limits on new sources of charged lepton flavor violation (CLFV). Almost all theoret…
Results from the Baksan Experiment on Sterile Transitions (BEST)
V. V. Barinov, B. T. Cleveland, S. N. Danshin +27
The Baksan Experiment on Sterile Transitions (BEST) was designed to investigate the deficit of electron neutrinos, , observed in previous gallium-based radiochemical measure…
