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…
Detecting light axions from supernovae in nearby galaxies
Francesca Lecce, Alessandro Lella, Giuseppe Lucente +2
Axion-like particles (ALPs) coupled to nucleons can be efficiently produced in core-collapse supernovae (SNe) and then, if they couple to photons, convert into gamma rays in cosmic…
Probing axion-like particles with multimessenger observations of neutron star mergers
Francesca Lecce, Alessandro Lella, Giuseppe Lucente +4
Axion-like particles (ALPs) can be copiously produced in binary neutron star (BNS) mergers through nucleon-nucleon bremsstrahlung if the ALP-nucleon couplings are sizable…
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\…
Exploring the Dark Universe: A European Strategy for Axions and other WISPs Discovery
Deniz Aybas, Francesca Calore, Michele Cicoli +17
Axions and other very weakly interacting slim (with 1 GeV) particles (WISPs) are a common feature of several extensions of the Standard Model of Particle Physics. The search…
Ultimate light-shining-through-a-wall experiments to establish QCD axions as the dominant form of dark matter
Sebastian Hoof, Joerg Jaeckel, Giuseppe Lucente
Establishing the axion as the dark matter (DM) particle after a haloscope discovery typically requires follow-up experiments to break the degeneracy between the axion's coupling to…
