Overview and design optimization of a custom hybrid X-ray telescope for the International Axion Observatory (IAXO)
Yue Yu, Jooyun Woo, Ipek Altunyurt +34
We present the design optimization for maximizing the effective area of a custom X-ray optic for the International Axion Observatory (IAXO) and BabyIAXO, including its novel hybrid…
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…
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…
Stripped-Envelope Supernovae for QCD Axion Detection
Francisco R. Candón, Damiano F. G. Fiorillo, Ángel Gil Muyor +3
QCD axions would be copiously produced in the proto-neutron star formed in a core-collapse supernova (SN). After escaping, they would convert into gamma rays in the Galactic magnet…
Small Progenitors, Large Couplings: Type Ic Supernova Constraints on Radiatively Decaying Particles
Francisco R. Candón, Damiano F. G. Fiorillo, Hans-Thomas Janka +2
Supernova (SN) 1987A provides classic bounds on gamma-ray flashes from the radiative decay of sub-GeV particles, but the latter may decay so rapidly as to be shielded by the stella…
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…
Probing the Axion-Nucleon Coupling with Supergiant Stars
Francisco R. Candón, Pablo Casaseca, Maurizio Giannotti +3
A finite axion-nucleon coupling enables the production of axions in stellar environments via the thermal excitation and subsequent de-excitation of the Fe isotope. Given its…
The International Axion Observatory (IAXO): case, status and plans. Input to the European Strategy for Particle Physics
A. Arcusa, S. Ahyoune, K. Altenmuller +120
The International Axion Observatory (IAXO) is a next-generation axion helioscope designed to search for solar axions with unprecedented sensitivity. IAXO holds a unique position in…
NuSTAR bounds on radiatively decaying particles from M82
Francisco R. Candón, Damiano F. G. Fiorillo, Giuseppe Lucente +2
Axions and other putative feebly interacting particles (FIPs) with a mass of tens to several hundreds of keVs can be produced in stellar cores with a Lorentz boost factor $E_a/m_a\…
An accurate solar axions ray-tracing response of BabyIAXO
S. Ahyoune, K. Altenmueller, I. Antolin +124
BabyIAXO is the intermediate stage of the International Axion Observatory (IAXO) to be hosted at DESY. Its primary goal is the detection of solar axions following the axion heliosc…
