Observation of the Moon and Sun shadows with cosmic rays at an average energy of eV
The Pierre Auger Collaboration, A. Abdul Halim, P. Abreu +346
Interactions of cosmic rays with the Moon and the Sun produce deficits in their arrival-direction distributions relative to an isotropic flux. Such shadows have been observed previ…
Search for active-sterile neutrino transitions using Pierre Auger Observatory data
The Pierre Auger Collaboration, A. Abdul Halim, P. Abreu +348
We investigate the sensitivity of the Pierre Auger Observatory to physics beyond the Standard Model arising from magnetic-moment-induced transitions between active and heavy steril…
Proton-air interaction properties at TeV from shower-depth measurements with the Pierre Auger Observatory and their connection to the Muon Puzzle
The Pierre Auger Collaboration, A. Abdul Halim, P. Abreu +347
Hybrid measurements at the Pierre Auger Observatory indicate that most high-energy hadronic interaction models underestimate the average depth of the shower maximum, $\langle X_{\m…
Constraints on Sub-MeV Dark Matter from Solar Reflection with DAMIC-M
K. Aggarwal, I. Arnquist, N. Avalos +41
The Sun acts as a natural dark matter accelerator. Galactic halo particles scattering in the solar plasma emerge with velocities well beyond the Galactic escape speed, providing a…
When direct detection constrains reheating temperature: freeze-in with stronger couplings and inflaton-seeded freeze-in
Xavier Bertou, Olivier Deligny, Mathieu Gross +2
Recent results from the DAMIC-M and PandaX collaborations have excluded the standard freeze-in production of dark matter for masses in the range $3~\mathrm{MeV} \lesssim m_Ï\lesss…
Bounds on Lorentz invariance violation from muon fluctuations at the Pierre Auger Observatory
The Pierre Auger Collaboration, A. Abdul Halim, P. Abreu +357
Quantum gravity theories often modify spacetime symmetries. In particular, Lorentz invariance may be violated when approaching the Planck scale. Although the scales at which intera…
