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…
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…
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…
