White dwarfs as a probe of exceptionally light QCD axions

We study the effects of exceptionally light QCD axions on the stellar configuration of white dwarfs. At finite baryon density, the nonderivative coupling of the axion to nucleons displaces the axion from its invacuum minimum, which implies a reduction of t ...

Constraints on the intergalactic magnetic field from Fermi/LAT observations of the 'pair echo' of GRB 221009A

Andrii Neronov

Delayed 'pair-echo' signal from interactions of very-high-energy gamma rays in the intergalactic medium can be used for the detection of the intergalactic magnetic field (IGMF). We used the data of the Fermi/LAT telescope coupled with LHAASO observatory me ...

Decay law of magnetic turbulence with helicity balanced by chiral fermions

Kohei Kamada, Jennifer Waltraud Schober

In plasmas composed of massless electrically charged fermions, chirality can be interchanged with magnetic helicity while preserving the total chirality through the quantum chiral anomaly. The decay of turbulent energy in plasmas such as those in the early ...

Sleptonic SUSY: from UV framework to IR phenomenology

Majid Ekhterachian

We study an attractive scenario, "Sleptonic SUSY", which reconciles the 125 GeV Higgs scalar and the non-observation of superpartners thus far with potentially pivotal roles for slepton phenomenology: providing viable ongoing targets for LHC discovery, inc ...

Probing the explanation of the muon (g-2) anomaly and thermal light dark matter with the semi-visible dark photon channel

Nikolaos Charitonidis, Philip Crivelli

We report the results of a search for a new vector boson (A') decaying into two dark matter particles chi 1 chi 2 of different mass. The heavier chi(2) particle subsequently decays to chi 1 and an off-shell Dark Photon A'* -> e(+)e(-). For a sufficiently l ...

New constraints on the mass of fermionic dark matter from dwarf spheroidal galaxies

Alexey Boyarsky, Diego Blas Temino, Kyrylo Bondarenko

Dwarf spheroidal galaxies are excellent systems to probe the nature of fermionic dark matter due to their high observed dark matter phase-space density. In this work, we review, revise, and improve upon previous phase-space considerations to obtain lower b ...

Spontaneous baryogenesis from axions with generic couplings

Valerie Fiona Domcke

Axion-like particles can source the baryon asymmetry of our Universe through spontaneous baryogenesis. Here we clarify that this is a generic outcome for essentially any coupling of an axion-like particle to the Standard Model, requiring only a non-zero ve ...

Dark matter, dark photon and superfluid He-4 from effective field theory

Angelo Esposito, Emma Michèle Ginette Geoffray

We consider a model of sub-GeV dark matter whose interaction with the Standard Model is mediated by a new vector boson (the dark photon) which couples kinetically to the photon. We describe the possibility of constraining such a model using a superfluid He ...
