Gravitational Imprints of Axion Clouds on Black-Hole Orbital Dynamics

J. Ruz, V. Mungai, F. Kühnel +4

Black holes of primordial or astrophysical origin immersed in axion dark matter provide a natural laboratory for exploring the interplay between compact objects and ultralight scal…

First Experimental Bounds on Transverse Plasmon Solar Axions with ANAIS-112

S. J. Hollick, M. Giannotti, J. Ruz +16

Solar axion-like particles (ALPs) can be resonantly produced through the conversion of transverse plasmons in the magnetic field of the solar interior, introducing a production mec…

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…

Direct detection of solar chameleons with electron recoil data from XENONnT

Guan-Wen Yuan, Anne-Christine Davis, Maurizio Giannotti +3

We reassess prospects for direct detection of solar chameleons, in light of recent progress in modeling their production, and the availability of new XENONnT data. We show that the…

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…

NuSTAR as an Axion Helioscope

J. Ruz, E. Todarello, J. K. Vogel +11

We present a novel approach to investigating axions and axion-like particles (ALPs) by studying their potential conversion into X-rays within the Sun's atmospheric magnetic field.…

Daily modulations and broadband strategy in axion searches. An application with CAST-CAPP detector

F. Caspers, C. M. Adair, K. Altenmüller +60

It has been previously advocated that the presence of the daily and annual modulations of the axion flux on the Earth's surface may dramatically change the strategy of the axion se…

Using Micromegas detectors for direct dark matter searches: challenges and perspectives

K. Altenmueller, . Antolin, D. Calvet +27

Gas time projection chambers (TPCs) with Micromegas pixelated readouts are being used in dark matter searches and other rare event searches, due to their potential in terms of low…

Searching for WIMPs with TREX-DM: achievements and challenges

Juan F. Castel, Susana Cebrián, Theopisti Dafni +15

The TREX-DM detector, a low background chamber with microbulk Micromegas readout, was commissioned in the underground laboratory of Canfranc (LSC) in 2018. Since then, data taking…

The Sun as a target for axion dark matter detection

Elisa Todarello, Marco Regis, Marco Taoso +3

The exploration of the parameter space of axion and axion-like particle dark matter is a major aim of the future program of astroparticle physics investigations. In this context, w…

Prospects on the Detection of Solar Dark Photons by the International Axion Observatory

T. O'Shea, M. Giannotti, I. G. Irastorza +4

Dark (hidden) photons are widely recognised as well motivated candidates for physics beyond the standard model, and have been invoked for the solution of several outstanding proble…

Axion Dark Matter

C. B. Adams, N. Aggarwal, A. Agrawal +152

Axions are well-motivated dark matter candidates with simple cosmological production mechanisms. They were originally introduced to solve the strong CP problem, but also arise in a…
