Solar axion search with the CAST experiment
CAST Collaboration, E. Arik, S. Aune +74
The CAST (CERN Axion Solar Telescope) experiment is searching for solar axions by their conversion into photons inside the magnet pipe of an LHC dipole. The analysis of the data re…
Possible causes of a rise with energy of the cosmic ray positron fraction
Pasquale Dario Serpico
Based on general considerations rather than model-dependent fits to specific scenarios, we argue that an increase with energy of the positron fraction in cosmic rays, suggested by…
Probing eV-scale axions with CAST
CAST Collaboration, E. Arik, S. Aune +70
We have searched for solar axions or other pseudoscalar particles that couple to two photons by using the CERN Axion Solar Telescope (CAST) setup. Whereas we previously have report…
Nonstandard neutrino-neutrino refractive effects in dense neutrino gases
Mattias Blennow, Alessandro Mirizzi, Pasquale D. Serpico
We investigate the effects of nonstandard four-fermion neutrino-neutrino interactions on the flavor evolution of dense neutrino gases. We find that in the regions where the neutrin…
Pulsars as the Sources of High Energy Cosmic Ray Positrons
Dan Hooper, Pasquale Blasi, Pasquale Dario Serpico
Recent results from the PAMELA satellite indicate the presence of a large flux of positrons (relative to electrons) in the cosmic ray spectrum between approximately 10 and 100 GeV.…
Search for low Energy solar Axions with CAST
Giovanni Cantatore, E. Arik, S. Aune +77
We have started the development of a detector system, sensitive to single photons in the eV energy range, to be suitably coupled to one of the CAST magnet ports. This system should…
