Projected Sensitivity to Slow Muonphilic Dark Matter with Accelerator Muon Beams

Rongfeng Zhang, Cheng-en Liu, Ruihu Zhu +9

The nature of dark matter (DM) remains one of the most enduring open questions in modern physics, and muonphilic DM has emerged as a promising scenario that complements traditional…

Production of lepton-flavor-violating scalars through resonant positive-muon annihilation on atomic electrons

Jinhong Shen, Youpeng Wu, Zijian Wang +10

We investigate an invisible lepton-flavor-violating scalar with exclusive couplings and study its resonant production via in fixed-target experiments. Since…

Quantum entanglement of photon pairs at proton-proton colliders

Yue Pan, Yipin Wang, Leyun Gao +2

Diphoton systems, with photon polarizations measurable at low energies, serve as ideal qubits and were first used to demonstrate quantum entanglement. However, due to the current a…
