Blazar Boosted Dark Matter in IceCube
Alberto M. Gago, Jaime Hoefken Zink, Joel Jones-Pérez +1
We study the sensitivity of IceCube to blazar-boosted dark matter in a fermionic dark matter model with a massive vector mediator coupling to quarks. To this aim, we compute the di…
Complementarity Between Neutrino Neutral and Charged Current Events in the Search for New Physics
Julia Gehrlein, Jaime Hoefken Zink, Pedro A. N. Machado +1
At long-baseline neutrino experiments, neutral-current (NC) events accumulate in large numbers but are seldom exploited for new physics searches. We demonstrate their potential usi…
Dark Matter Heating of Compact Stars Beyond Capture: A Relativistic Framework for Energy Deposition by Particle Beams
Jaime Hoefken Zink, Shihwen Hor, Maura E. Ramirez-Quezada
Compact astrophysical objects, such as neutron stars and white dwarfs, can act as detectors of energetic particle fluxes originating from astrophysical accelerators. While most exi…
Neutron stars can shine a light on elusive lepton-flavor-violating dark matter
Hooman Davoudiasl, Jaime Hoefken Zink, Sebastian Trojanowski
We investigate a scenario in which dark matter (DM) poses a challenge to conventional direct and indirect detection, making it much more elusive than typical candidates. We focus o…
Single pion resonant production in BSM scenarios: cross sections and amplitudes
Jaime Hoefken Zink, Maura E. Ramirez-Quezada
We present a comprehensive theoretical framework describing single pion resonant production through inelastic dark fermion-nucleon interactions mediated by resonances in the GeV-sc…
How to rule out in with White Dwarf Cooling
Patrick Foldenauer, Jaime Hoefken Zink
In recent years, the gauge group has received a lot of attention since it can, in principle, account for the observed excess in the anomalous muon magnetic moment…
A panorama of new-physics explanations to the MiniBooNE excess
Asli M. Abdullahi, Jaime Hoefken Zink, Matheus Hostert +2
The MiniBooNE low-energy excess stands as an unexplained anomaly in short-baseline neutrino oscillation experiments. It has been shown that it can be explained in the context of da…
Exploring the dark sectors via the cooling of white dwarfs
Jaime Hoefken Zink, Maura E. Ramirez-Quezada
As dense and hot bodies with a well-understood equation of state, white dwarfs offer a unique opportunity to investigate new physics. In this paper, we examine the role of dark sec…
DarkNews: a Python-based event generator for heavy neutral lepton production in neutrino-nucleus scattering
Asli M. Abdullahi, Jaime Hoefken Zink, Matheus Hostert +2
We introduce DarkNews, a lightweight Python-based Monte-Carlo generator for beyond-the-Standard-Model neutrino-nucleus scattering. The generator handles the production and decay of…
