Search for reactor-produced millicharged particles with Skipper-CCDs at the CONNIE and Atucha-II experiments
Alexis A. Aguilar-Arevalo, Nicolas Avalos, Pablo Bellino +37
Millicharged particles, proposed by various extensions of the standard model, can be created in pairs by high-energy photons within nuclear reactors and can interact electromagneti…
