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…

Overview and design optimization of a custom hybrid X-ray telescope for the International Axion Observatory (IAXO)

Yue Yu, Jooyun Woo, Ipek Altunyurt +34

We present the design optimization for maximizing the effective area of a custom X-ray optic for the International Axion Observatory (IAXO) and BabyIAXO, including its novel hybrid…

NuSTAR as an Axion Helioscope: probing axion-nucleon and axion-electron couplings

Tiziano Zanzarella, Francisco R. Candón, Maurizio Giannotti +5

We investigate solar X-ray observations as a probe of axions and axion-like particles. These particles can be produced in the interior of the Sun via the conversion of thermal phot…

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…

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…
