The COSMIC WISPers White Paper: The physics case for Weakly Interacting Slim Particles

Ariel Arza, Deniz Aybas, Shyam Balaji +124

Axions and other very weakly interacting slim particles (WISPs), with masses below 1 GeV, arise naturally in many extensions of the Standard Model of particle physics. In particula…

A framework for missing-energy searches with anomalous light vectors

Luca Di Luzio, Marco Nardecchia, Stefano Scacco +1

We study light spin-1 gauge bosons coupled to electroweak-anomalous currents. For generic charge assignments, anomaly cancellation requires new fermions (anomalons) that are chiral…

RadioAxion results on the search for axion dark matter under Gran Sasso

Carlo Broggini, Giuseppe Di Carlo, Luca Di Luzio +2

We report first results from RadioAxion, an underground experiment searching for axion dark matter through periodic modulations of radioisotope decays. We monitor the decay of…

Dark Matter emission at Belle II and NA62 in Minimal Flavor Violation framework

Federico Mescia, Shohei Okawa, Joel Swallow +1

Minimal Flavor Violation (MFV) provides a compelling framework for exploring physics beyond the Standard Model, in which new QCD-singlet fields transforming under the global $\math…

The decay as a search for the QCD axion

Merna Abumusabh, Giulio Dujany, Diego Guadagnoli +2

We introduce a model-independent framework to reinterpret Belle II results using only public data, analytically reconstructing the mapping between true and reconstructed kinematic…

Probing a Light Scalar Boson with a few-MeV Proton Beam Deep Underground

Carlo Broggini, Giuseppe Di Carlo, Luca Di Luzio +2

We propose to investigate the production of a light scalar boson in low-energy proton-nucleus interactions using the 3.5 MV accelerator of the Bellotti Ion Beam Facility, locat…

Gauged -lepton chiral currents and

Luca Di Luzio, Marco Nardecchia, Claudio Toni

We consider a class of theories with a gauge symmetry associated with leptonic chiral currents. The low-energy effective field theory includes a light spin- boson coupl…

Combined Evidence for the Boson After PADME Results on Resonant Production in Positron Annihilation

Fernando Arias-Aragón, Giovanni Grilli di Cortona, Enrico Nardi +1

The Positron Annihilation into Dark Matter Experiment at the Laboratori Nazionali di Frascati has reported an excess of final-state events from positron annihilation on fi…

New bound on the vectorial axion-down-strange coupling from data

Diego Guadagnoli, Axel Iohner, Cristina Lazzeroni +3

We reinterpret publicly available data collected by NA62 from 2016 to 2024 to constrain the fundamental vectorial coupling of the QCD axion to down and strange…

Weak nuclear decays deep-underground as a probe of axion dark matter

Jorge Alda, Carlo Broggini, Giuseppe Di Carlo +4

We investigate the time modulation of weak nuclear decays as a method to probe axion dark matter. To this end, we develop a theoretical framework to compute the -dependence of w…

Alpha radioactivity deep-underground as a probe of axion dark matter

Carlo Broggini, Giuseppe Di Carlo, Luca Di Luzio +1

We propose to investigate the time modulation of radioisotope decays deep underground as a method to explore axion dark matter. In this work, we focus on the -decay of heavy iso…
