Testing Lepton Wave Function Factorization in Electron Capture
M. Cadeddu, N. Cargioli, M. Cau +2
Electron-capture ratios provide precision tests of atomic wave functions and of possible non-factorization effects in nuclear electron capture. By exploiting exact leptonic wave fu…
A possible solution to the gallium anomaly moving beyond the leptonic wave function factorization
M. Cadeddu, N. Cargioli, F. Dordei +3
For over thirty years, a deficit, now exceeding , has persisted between measured and predicted neutrino capture rates on Ga, as observed in radioactive sourc…
When backgrounds become signals: neutrino interactions in xenon-based dark matter detectors
M. Atzori Corona, M. Cadeddu, N. Cargioli +2
Direct detection dark matter experiments have proven to be compelling probes for studying low-energy neutrino interactions with both nuclei and atomic electrons, offering complemen…
Phenomenological implications of the high-precision COHERENT germanium CENS data
M. Atzori Corona, M. Cadeddu, N. Cargioli +5
This work presents the first comprehensive phenomenological analysis of the newly released Coherent Elastic Neutrino-Nucleus Scattering (CENS) data on germanium, measured by th…
Sensitivity to low-mass WIMPs with an improved liquid argon ionization response model within the DarkSide programme
F. Acerbi, P. Adhikari, P. Agnes +294
Dark matter detection experiments using liquid argon rely on a precise characterization of the ionization response to nuclear recoils, especially in the keV energy range relevant f…
Reassessing the gallium anomaly using self-consistent electron wave functions
M. Cadeddu, N. Cargioli, G. Carotenuto +3
The gallium anomaly, a persistent discrepancy exceeding in the Ga neutrino capture rates from Cr and Ar radioactive sources by the GALLEX, SAGE, and rece…
