The landscape of QCD axion models

L Di Luzio, M Giannotti, E Nardi, L Visinelli - Physics Reports, 2020 - Elsevier
We review the landscape of QCD axion models. Theoretical constructions that extend the
window for the axion mass and couplings beyond conventional regions are highlighted and …

The neutrino magnetic moment portal: Cosmology, astrophysics, and direct detection

V Brdar, A Greljo, J Kopp… - Journal of Cosmology and …, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
We revisit the physics of neutrino magnetic moments, focusing in particular on the case
where the right-handed, or sterile, neutrinos are heavier (up to several MeV) than the left …

Solar axions cannot explain the XENON1T excess

L Di Luzio, M Fedele, M Giannotti, F Mescia, E Nardi - Physical Review Letters, 2020 - APS
We argue that the interpretation in terms of solar axions of the recent XENON1T excess is
not tenable when confronted with astrophysical observations of stellar evolution. We discuss …

New constraint on neutrino magnetic moment and neutrino millicharge from LUX-ZEPLIN dark matter search results

MA Corona, WM Bonivento, M Cadeddu, N Cargioli… - Physical Review D, 2023 - APS
Elastic neutrino-electron scattering represents a powerful tool to investigate key neutrino
properties. In view of the recent results released by the LUX-ZEPLIN collaboration, we …

Neutrino self-interactions and XENON1T electron recoil excess

A Bally, S Jana, A Trautner - Physical Review Letters, 2020 - APS
The XENON1T collaboration recently reported an excess in electron recoil events in the
energy range between 1–7 keV. This excess could be understood to originate from the …

Neutrino magnetic moments meet precision Neff measurements

SP Li, XJ Xu - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023 - Springer
A bstract In the early universe, Dirac neutrino magnetic moments due to their chirality-
flipping nature could lead to thermal production of right-handed neutrinos, which would …

Active-to-sterile neutrino dipole portal and the XENON1T excess

IM Shoemaker, YD Tsai, J Wyenberg - Physical Review D, 2021 - APS
In this paper, we find that a magnetic transition dipole moment between tau and sterile
neutrinos can account for the XENON1T excess events. Unlike the ordinary neutrino dipole …

Probing neutrino magnetic moments and the Xenon1T excess with coherent elastic solar neutrino scattering

YF Li, S Xia - Physical Review D, 2022 - APS
The detection potential of the active neutrino magnetic moment (ν a MM) and the active
sterile transition magnetic moment (ν s MM) in the solar neutrino CE ν NS process from …

Sun heated MeV-scale dark matter and the XENON1T electron recoil excess

Y Chen, MY Cui, J Shu, X Xue, GW Yuan… - Journal of High Energy …, 2021 - Springer
A bstract The XENON1T collaboration reported an excess of the low-energy electron recoil
events between 1 and 7 keV. We explore the possibility to explain such an anomaly by the …

Magnetic moments of astrophysical neutrinos

J Kopp, T Opferkuch, E Wang - Journal of Cosmology and …, 2024 - iopscience.iop.org
We study the impact of neutrino magnetic moments on astrophysical neutrinos, in particular
supernova neutrinos and ultra-high energy neutrinos from extragalactic sources. We show …
