Axions at the meV Crossroads: Theory, Cosmology, Astrophysics, and Experiments

Michele Cicoli, Francesco D'Eramo, Luca Di Luzio +18

The meV mass range has emerged as a focal point in axion physics, where advances in theory, cosmology, astrophysics, and experimental techniques converge. Axions in this mass range…

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…

Search for Axion-Like Particles from Nearby Pre-Supernova Stars

Saurabh Mittal, Thomas Siegert, Francesca Calore +7

Axion-like particles (ALPs) are hypothetical pseudoscalar bosons that arise in many extensions of the Standard Model and are well-motivated dark matter candidates. Nearby massive s…

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…

The Impact of Axion-Like Particles on Late Stellar Evolution From Intermediate-Mass Stars to core-collapse Supernova Progenitors

Inmacolata Domínguez, Oscar Straniero, Luciano Piersanti +2

Context. Stars with masses ranging from 3 to 11 M_\odot exhibit multiple evolutionary paths. Less massive stars in this range conclude their evolution as carbon-oxygen (CO) white d…

Detecting Supernova Axions with IAXO

P. Carenza, J. A. García Pascual, M. Giannotti +8

We investigate the potential of IAXO and its intermediate version, BabyIAXO, to detect axions produced in core-collapse supernovae (SNe). Our study demonstrates that these experime…
