Abstract: Axion-like particles (ALPs) arise from well-motivated extensions to the Standard Model and could account for dark matter. ALP dark matter would manifest as a field oscillating at an (as of yet) unknown frequency. The frequency… read more here.

Abstract: That massless dark photons could exist and have flavor-changing magnetic-dipole couplings to down-type light quarks is an attractive possibility which may be realized in various new-physics scenarios. It is potentially testable not only in kaon… read more here.

DOI: 10.1103/physrevd.99.043014
Abstract: We explore paleo-detectors as an approach to the direct detection of weakly interacting massive particle (WIMP) dark matter radically different from conventional detectors. Instead of instrumenting ... read more here.
