Solar capture and annihilation of fermionic and scalar dark matter motivated by the LUX-ZEPLIN high-recoil candidate
Antonio Capolupo, Gabriele Pisacane, Raoul Serao
Motivated by the LUX-ZEPLIN high-energy nuclear-recoil candidate, we ask whether solar evolution can distinguish dark-matter models that are degenerate in their leading xenon recoi…
Geometric Phases as Probes of Dark Sectors
Antonio Capolupo, Gabriele Pisacane, Raoul Serao
We review recent interferometric schemes designed to probe physics beyond the Standard Model through the detection of geometric phases. We discuss how interactions with hidden-sect…
Particle Physics in Curved Spacetime and Dark Matter
Antonio Capolupo, Salvatore Capozziello, Gabriele Pisacane +1
We review recent results showing that, within the framework of quantum field theory in curved spacetime, the semiclassical energy-momentum tensor of the neutrino flavor vacuum fulf…
Quantum interferometric probe of neutron--hidden neutron oscillations
Antonio Capolupo, Gabriele Pisacane, Aniello Quaranta +1
The nature of dark matter remains an outstanding problem in particle physics and cosmology. Hidden-sector extensions of the Standard Model predict a neutral partner of the neutron,…
Particle mixing and quantum reference frames
Antonio Capolupo, Gabriele Pisacane, Aniello Quaranta
We discuss the role of quantum reference frames in providing a viable definition of rest frame for mixed particles. We then analyze the related concept of frame-dependent entanglem…
