Solar axion searches with RES-NOVA: projected sensitivity and first prototype limit
D. Alloni, G. Benato, P. Carniti +49
RES-NOVA is a cryogenic experiment based on PbWO4 scintillating bolometers produced from archaeological lead, originally designed to detect coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scatte…
How invisible can QCD axions be? From Supernova emission to Cherenkov signals
Luca Di Luzio, Vincenzo Fiorentino, Maurizio Giannotti +2
We investigate the scenario of maximally invisible axions, namely QCD axions whose interactions with matter arise exclusively from the irreducible coupling to gluons responsible fo…
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…
Enhanced Stellar Production of Weakly Interacting Slim Particles from Non-Thermal Nuclear Cascades
Víctor Fonoll, Maurizio Giannotti, Giuseppe Lucente
Weakly interacting slim particles (WISPs) can be produced in stars through the conversion of non-thermal photons generated in nuclear reactions. Previous studies have generally tre…
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…
Search for Axion-Like Particles from Nearby Pre-Supernova Stars
Saurabh Mittal, Thomas Siegert, Francesca Calore +7
Axion-like particles (ALPs) are hypothetical pseudoscalar bosons that arise in many extensions of the Standard Model and are well-motivated dark matter candidates. Nearby massive s…
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…
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…
Axion-induced pair production: a new strategy for axion detection
Fernando Arias-Aragón, Maurizio Giannotti, Giovanni Grilli di Cortona +1
We revisit and update the axion-induced pair production process in a nuclear electric field mediated by the axion-electron coupling, $a+{{}^{A}_{Z}X} \rightarrow {{}^{A}_{Z}X} + e^…
Do Finite Density Effects Jeopardize Axion Nucleophobia in Supernovae?
Luca Di Luzio, Vincenzo Fiorentino, Maurizio Giannotti +2
Nucleophobic axion models, wherein axion couplings to both protons and neutrons are simultaneously suppressed, can relax the stringent constraints from SN 1987A. However, it remain…
