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…
ALPaca: The ALP Automatic Computing Algorithm
Jorge Alda, Marta Fuentes Zamoro, Luca Merlo +2
The ALP Automatic Computing Algorithm, ALPaca, is an open source Python library devoted to studying the phenomenology of Axion-Like Particles (ALPs) with masses in the ranges $m_a…
Comprehensive ALP Searches in Meson Decays
Jorge Alda, Marta Fuentes Zamoro, Luca Merlo +2
We present a comprehensive study of axion-like particles (ALPs) in meson decays, combining effective field theory and ultraviolet models within the open-source tool ALPaca. The ana…
Collider and astrophysical signatures of light scalars with enhanced couplings
Jorge Alda, Gabriele Levati, Paride Paradisi +2
Beyond Standard Model scenarios addressing the flavor puzzle and the hierarchy problem generally predict dominant new physics couplings with fermions of the third generation. In th…
