Unveiling atomic electron motion effects in high energy collisions at NA64
Fernando Arias-Aragón, Giovanni Grilli di Cortona, Enrico Nardi
Atomic electron motion is responsible for well-studied effects observed in low-energy (MeV-scale) processes. Recently, interest in this phenomenon has also emerged within the high-…
Flow and thermal modelling of the argon volume in the DarkSide-20k TPC
20k Collaboration, F. Acerbi, P. Adhikari +300
The DarkSide-20k dark matter experiment, currently under construction at LNGS, features a dual-phase time projection chamber (TPC) with a ~50 t argon target from an underground wel…
Dark sector searches with high-intensity positron beams in the CERN North Area
F. Arias-Aragón, L. Darmé, R. Gargiulo +6
Dark sector models present a rich phenomenology that requires high-intensity beams and precision detectors for thorough exploration. The NA62 experiment has already published sever…
Axion-induced pair production: a new strategy for axion detection
Fernando Arias-Aragón, Maurizio Giannotti, Giovanni Grilli di Cortona +1
We revisit and update the axion-induced pair production process in a nuclear electric field mediated by the axion-electron coupling, $a+{{}^{A}_{Z}X} \rightarrow {{}^{A}_{Z}X} + e^…
The QCD Axion: Some Like It Hot
Federico Bianchini, Giovanni Grilli di Cortona, Mauro Valli
We compare the QCD axion phase-space distribution from unitarized next-to-leading order chiral perturbation theory with the one extracted from pion-scattering data. We derive a rob…
Sensitivity projections for a dual-phase argon TPC optimized for light dark matter searches through the ionization channel
P. Agnes, I. Ahmad, S. Albergo +296
Dark matter lighter than 10 GeV/c encompasses a promising range of candidates. A conceptual design for a new detector, DarkSide-LowMass, is presented, based on the DarkSide-50…
Search for dark matter particle interactions with electron final states with DarkSide-50
50 Collaboration, P. Agnes, I. F. M. Albuquerque +140
We present a search for dark matter particles with sub-GeV/ masses whose interactions have final state electrons using the DarkSide-50 experiment's (12306 184) kg d low-…
Flavor-Violating Higgs Decays and Stellar Cooling Anomalies in Axion Models
Marcin Badziak, Giovanni Grilli di Cortona, Mustafa Tabet +1
We study a class of DFSZ-like models for the QCD axion that can address observed anomalies in stellar cooling. Stringent constraints from SN1987A and neutron stars are avoided by s…
Future DUNE constraints on EFT
Adam Falkowski, Giovanni Grilli di Cortona, Zahra Tabrizi
In the near future, fundamental interactions at high-energy scales may be most efficiently studied via precision measurements at low energies. A universal language to assemble and…
MeV Dark Matter: Model Independent Bounds
Enrico Bertuzzo, Cristian J. Caniu Barros, Giovanni Grilli di Cortona
We use the framework of dark matter effective field theories to study the complementarity of bounds for a dark matter particle with mass in the MeV range. Taking properly into acco…
