Detecting light axions from supernovae in nearby galaxies
Francesca Lecce, Alessandro Lella, Giuseppe Lucente +2
Axion-like particles (ALPs) coupled to nucleons can be efficiently produced in core-collapse supernovae (SNe) and then, if they couple to photons, convert into gamma rays in cosmic…
Leading bounds on micro- to picometer fifth forces from neutron star cooling
Damiano F. G. Fiorillo, Alessandro Lella, Ciaran A. J. O'Hare +1
The equivalence principle and the inverse-square law of gravity could be violated at short distances ( to meters) by scalars sporting a coupling to nucleo…
Fresh look at the diffuse ALP background from supernovae
Francisco R. Candón, Sougata Ganguly, Maurizio Giannotti +3
Protoneutron stars, highly compact objects formed in the core of exploding supernovae (SNe), are powerful sources of axion-like particles (ALPs). In the SN core, ALPs are dominantl…
Probing axion-like particles with multimessenger observations of neutron star mergers
Francesca Lecce, Alessandro Lella, Giuseppe Lucente +4
Axion-like particles (ALPs) can be copiously produced in binary neutron star (BNS) mergers through nucleon-nucleon bremsstrahlung if the ALP-nucleon couplings are sizable…
Exploring the Dark Universe: A European Strategy for Axions and other WISPs Discovery
Deniz Aybas, Francesca Calore, Michele Cicoli +17
Axions and other very weakly interacting slim (with 1 GeV) particles (WISPs) are a common feature of several extensions of the Standard Model of Particle Physics. The search…
Detecting Supernova Axions with IAXO
P. Carenza, J. A. García Pascual, M. Giannotti +8
We investigate the potential of IAXO and its intermediate version, BabyIAXO, to detect axions produced in core-collapse supernovae (SNe). Our study demonstrates that these experime…
